MGM+ is creating a real crime docuseries primarily based on writer Michael Connelly’s Audible podcast sequence, The Wonderland Murders & The Secret History of Hollywood. The TV sequence has not but been given a title, however we do know that it will likely be directed by Alison Ellwood (San Francisco Sounds, Laurel Canyon), and it will likely be a four-part docuseries analyzing the notorious Wonderland homicide case within the Eighties in Los Angeles, California.
The case revolves round an incident the place 4 individuals had been present in a suburban house in Laurel Canyon on Wonderland Avenue, and featured a high-profile trial in consequence.
The podcast synopsis reads:
“Through explosive in-depth reporting, new developments, rare archival footage, and pivotal testimony from ‘missing witness’ Scott Thorson (best known as Liberace’s boyfriend and the writer of the tell-all Behind the Candelabra), Wonderland Murders will delve into the gruesome crime that has captured the public’s imagination for nearly half a century, and tell a broader story about Los Angeles, the American dream, and when justice does—and doesn’t—work.”
The sequence was initially launched solely on Audible as a restricted documentary podcast sequence, with MGM noting that audiences have listened to it for greater than 150,000 hours in whole.
Michael Wright, head of MGM+, mentioned of the challenge:
“Wonderland Murders joins MGM+’s growing stable of smart, insightful, and thought-provoking true-crime docuseries. Michael Connelly is a renowned and tenacious crime writer, and Alison Ellwood is a visionary director, so there is no better team to explore one of Hollywood’s most notorious crimes.”
This feels like an enchanting docuseries for followers of true crime. I do know I’ll be tuning in. We will let when the present will get a streaming launch date.
