7 chilling true crime documentaries on Netflix to binge this weekend
Netflix is home to some of the most disturbing true crime documentaries that are all the rage with fans of the genre - but these are the most chilling of them all. There's nothing quite like cosying up under your duvet with a few nibbles, ready to delve into the latest true crime documentary on Netflix. Recent figures from the streaming giant reveal the popularity of the genre, with American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden and Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders both making the Top 10. And who could overlook the impact of Making A Murderer and American Murder: Gabby Petito, sparking countless theories and debates across various platforms like Reddit. If you're searching for your next true crime documentary to binge this weekend, we've got you sorted with seven of our top choices - but they're not for the faint-hearted. American Murder: The Family Next Door This 2020 documentary recounts the true story of the Watts family murders, which occurred two years prior. Utilising archival footage from social media posts and text messages to home video footage and police recordings, it unravels the mystery that shrouded the family, revealing midway through that Chris Watts murdered his pregnant wife Shanann, and her two daughters, four-year-old Bella and three-year-old Celeste. Reports of their disappearances began when friends of Shanann contacted the police saying they'd not heard from her, but Chris quickly became a key part of the search, even appearing on TV to plead for their return. He claimed to have no idea of their whereabouts, but his lies and secrets began to unravel after a failed polygraph test. Viewers eventually discover the horrific events that transpired, after Chris murdered his wife and buried her in a grave at his workplace, where he also disposed of his two daughters' bodies in an oil tank. His motives were never definitively established, but he pleaded guilty to multiple counts of first-degree murder and was handed five life sentences without the possibility of parole, with three to be served consecutively. Don't F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer In 2019, Netflix released what might be its most terrifying documentary, which traced the true story of an online manhunt. It charted an amateur investigation by social media users into a series of animal cruelty acts committed by a Canadian pornstar named Luka Magnotta. In 2010, he shared a video of himself killing two kittens in a plastic bag by suffocating them with a vacuum cleaner. After witnessing the horrifying act when the video went viral, a Facebook group was created to try and gather evidence against him. However, matters took a darker turn when Magnotta evaded authorities and began to commit more serious crimes, culminating in the murder of Jun Lin. He posted the video of Lin's death online, and sent his body parts to various institutions including the headquarters of Canada's two major political parties. He fled to Europe but was apprehended in 2014 and convicted of Lin's murder. He was given a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives. The four-part documentary, Bad Vegan, chronicles the rise and fall of Sarma Melngailis and Anthony Strangis, founders of Pure Food and Wine, and a married couple. Their New York City restaurant was a favourite among A-listers such as Bill Clinton and Alec Baldwin, and was known for its pioneering vegan cuisine. However, when Sarma married Anthony - who is actually named Shane Fox - her downfall and that of her restaurant began. Sarma claimed that her husband, a conman, manipulated her into stealing money from their business. He managed to convince her that he had lived for centuries and could grant her and her dog immortality. Eventually, he emptied her bank account and they both went on the run, only to be apprehended while ordering a non-vegan Domino's pizza. In 2017, Anthony admitted to charges of grand larceny, criminal tax fraud, and a scheme to defraud. He received a five-year probation sentence for stealing nearly $1,000,000 from the investors and employees of Pure Food and Wine. Sarma also confessed to stealing over $200,000 from an investor and scheming to defraud, in addition to facing criminal tax fraud charges. She was sentenced to almost four months in prison and filed for divorce from Anthony in 2018. The Tinder Swindler Netflix's The Tinder Swindler revealed the deceitful actions of Shimon Hayut, who impersonated Simon Leviev, the billionaire son of a diamond tycoon. The series follows three victims, Pernilla Sjoholm, Cecilie Fjellhøy and Ayleen Koeleman, as they join forces to uncover the true identity of a man who swindled them out of thousands of pounds to fund his extravagant lifestyle. He would whisk them away on romantic trips and lavish them with luxury, only to leave them drowning in debt. The Netflix programme suggests that Hayut hopped from one woman to another, stealing an estimated $10,000,000, while also being sought globally for various crimes. Following the airing of the series, Hayut maintained his innocence and refuted claims of fraud. It was later alleged that the real Leviev family were taking legal action against Hayut for defamation and invasion of privacy, after he impersonated the son of Israeli-Russian businessman Lev Leviev, even going to the extent of photoshopping himself into family photographs. Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare Sweet Bobby unveils one of the most shocking instances of catfishing - the twisted tale of Kirat Assi's ordeal. Based on a podcast bearing the same name, the Netflix series recounts how Kirat was deceived for over a decade. The actual individual behind the account - whom she believed to be a man named Bobby - wove a web of deceit, manipulating Kirat and their relationship, lying about health issues and creating multiple false personas to convince her she was interacting with a whole community of people acquainted with Bobby. Radio presenter Kirat's romantic illusions were shattered when she uncovered the truth about the man she believed she knew, only to find out he had a family and was oblivious to her existence. Her world fell apart upon discovering the true identity of the person who had catfished her for over ten years, but she found empowerment by taking legal action, as revealed in the Netflix series, and later pursued a civil lawsuit. Speaking to Metro about the ordeal, she expressed: "It's never gone away. It's always there. I hope by coming forward, other victims are not treated the same way." The Most Hated Man on the Internet Netflix's 2022 release, The Most Hated Man on the Internet, delves into the story of Hunter Moore, infamously dubbed the 'king of revenge porn'. Moore was the creator of a notorious 'revenge porn' site that encouraged users to upload images and videos, often containing nudity or explicit content, which reportedly included underage individuals and band members. Countless victims suffered as their private photos and social media details were disseminated online. The documentary series chronicles the downfall of Moore and his infamous website, culminating in his conviction and subsequent two-year imprisonment. After the series, he made some shocking comments including that he was "proud of what [he] created" and claimed: "I did do my time, I feel like I did pay my dues, and it wasn't all negative, and I had a great time and I would definitely do it over and over again, but I would do it in a different way and I would definitely take back any of the trauma that anybody suffered from the website or anything negative that happened through the site because back then I didn't understand it." Producers on the series also shared that Moore had initially agreed to be a part of the series before pulling out, but they were later glad to be able to share the story from the victims' narrative. Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey This instalment of Netflix's Cold Case series follows the mysterious death of JonBenét Ramsey, a six-year-old found dead in her parents' basement. On Boxing Day in 1996, her parents John and Patsy awoke to find her missing, and discovered a ransom note asking for $118,000. After contacting the police and searching their home, John found her body dead in the basement, but the investigation that followed sparked numerous questions. The Netflix show reveals the intricacies of the police case, and alleged mistakes made, as well as the media sensation around her death after controversy over her participation in child pageants, and the possible suspects.

Upfronts 2025 Takeaways & Report Card: Amazon and Netflix Return Strong, Scripted Programming Purged on Broadcast
Music always plays a large role at the annual TV upfronts, as media buyers, journalists, execs and other attendees are ushered in and out of these showcases to loud playlists — often spun by celebrity DJs. But this year, one number heard throughout the week came with a hefty dose of irony: Doechii's popular track 'Anxiety.'In the song, Doechii sings about how her anxiety 'keep on trying me / My anxiety, can't shake it off of me.' Perhaps a bit too on the nose for the media congloms to be piping into Radio City Music Hall, the Hammerstein Ballroom and other upfronts venues. After all, no matter how hard media execs try to spin that things are fine — that's hardly the case: Production is down, budgets keep getting slashed and studios like Paramount Global (still awaiting news on its Skydance merger) continue to be the subject of speculation about their ultimate rules this business, and yet, the show must go on. Last week NBCUniversal, Fox, Disney, Amazon, Warner Bros. Discovery, Netflix and YouTube all promoted their broad portfolios, with varying degrees of sports are clearly still the driving factor in the conglomerates' programming strategies, and movies are part of upfronts now. A decline in scripted programming on the broadcast networks' fall schedules is a telling sign that the TV business continues to evolve, with some of the biggest scripted bets of next season (like 'The Office' follow-up 'The Paper') going to streaming instead of the traditional Big the end of upfronts week, attendees heard so many competing pitches for their ad dollars that it was hard to keep the messages straight. But here are some of Variety's biggest takeaways from the 2025 upfronts. What Recession? More from Variety 'American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden' Hits 12.6 Million Views in Five Days on Netflix Mexico's Latin Pop Star Belinda to Topline Sony Pictures Television's Epic Series 'Carlota' (EXCLUSIVE) Netflix's 'Avatar: the Last Airbender' Casts Seven Including Dichen Lachman, Dolly de Leon and Tantoo Cardinal It's an undeniable fact: The entertainment business is in roughfinancial shape. Like the rest of the country, media companies have been affected by President Trump's tariffs and general economic upheaval. The Peak TV era, marked by blank checks for massive tentpole productions, is over. Earnings have taken a hit. Layoffs have impacted thousands. Everyone is on the hunt for more cost-effective programming. Of course, you'd get very little sense of that had you attended the upfronts. Save for a scant few passing mentions, you'd have no idea that Hollywood is facing these economic choppy Short told the audience at Disney's presentation that 'there's no tariffs on standing ovations,' earning a guffaw, while one Fox exec at the Manhattan Center told the crowd, 'The winds of change continue to sweep through our industry and our economy.'That's about it for mentions of anything to do with the economy this upfronts week. Understandably, media companies don't want to scare advertisers with lots of doom and gloom. Much of TV is about escapism, after all. But completely ignoring reality is not the best policy Purge on Broadcast Scripted programming took a big hit on the broadcast networks this upfronts season. With the release of the fall schedules, nearly all of the major broadcasters have shifted their focus to unscripted programming and numbers don't lie: ABC will have only five hours of scripted programming a week in the fall. Fox will have four. NBC canceled five scripted shows, with virtually no pilots in the works to replace them. CBS was the only network that committed heavily to more scripted shows, but even those were mostly spinoffs (sorry, 'universe expansions'). Those included 'Sheriff Country,' 'Boston Blue,' 'CIA' and 'Y: Marshals.'Scripted shows cost more to make, and the broadcast networks aren't drawing nearly as many customers as streamers. And there was never any doubt NBC was going to eventize the return of NBA coverage on the if there's one thing broadcast can do well, it's weekly procedurals and broad comedies. Both formats continue to be popular, but the networks don't seem in any rush to find the next big thing's for sure — the nostalgia reboot/revival wave has officially crashed. NBC axed 'Suits LA' after just one season, despite the original show's massive streaming success. The network also canceled the 'Night Court' follow-up with Melissa Rauch and John Larroquette after three seasons, even though it started out strong in the ratings. Maybe it's time for some original ideas to get their time in the spotlight? What's in a Name? Whomever media companies are paying to come up with the names for new platforms deserves either a raise or a demotion. A major theme of the upfronts was branding or rebranding (or re-re-branding, in one case) with names that lacked the top stories of the week, Warner Bros. Discovery revealed that Max would be known as HBO Max … again. Two years after the David Zaslav regime dropped the HBO part of its streaming service's name, HBO boss Casey Bloys announced onstage that 'HBO Max' was back — earning a wide range of reactions, from laughter to applause. It could have been worse. They could have gone with Max+.Meanwhile, Disney unveiled its ESPN streaming service, which will be called … ESPN. The streamer will offer an unlimited plan that includes all ESPN networks and ESPN broadcasts on ABC for $30 a month. The irony is, that's more than is currently offered on ESPN+. As Jimmy Kimmel put it during his annual upfront roast, 'The plus is now, in many ways, a minus.'Finally there is Versant, the spinoff of NBC-Universal that will house cable brands like USA Network, Syfy, E!, CNBC and MSNBC. Aside from the fact that no one can tell you what 'Versant' means, the name lacks the pop of SpinCo, the moniker the company used before someone landed on its official name.'We Come to This Place for Ad Sales' It's official — movies are as much a part of upfronts as TV. While upfronts were once exclusively about television shows, feature films now play a major role in media company pitches to for the second year in a row, spent a lot of time talking up 'Wicked' and its sequel, 'Wicked: For Good.' Donna Langley, chairman, NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios, and director Jon M. Chu both took the stage to hype the sequel and reveal trailers and a musical special coming to NBC. Not only that, but ad sales chief Mark Marshall made his entrance from the rafters dressed in a Glinda-inspired pink upfront featured appearances by John Cena, Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who talked up their upcoming films with Prime Video. Courtenay Valenti, Amazon's head of theatrical and streaming film, hit the stage to delve into the film slate. She talked about Amazon's 'Thomas Crown Affair' reboot with Michael B. Jordan — with Jordan himself coming out to reveal a series spinoff of the 'Creed' film at the Warner Bros. Discovery upfront, the company devoted a big portion of its presentation to James Gunn and Peter Safran, co-heads of DC Studios. In fairness, that included DC TV shows like 'Peacemaker' Season 2 and the upcoming 'Lanterns,' but it also had Gunn, Safran and Shaquille O'Neal revealing a brand-new trailer for Gunn's 'Superman' companies are all about showing off their entire portfolios to advertisers, it's still jarring to see that TV is only a portion of the upfronts experience now. Sports, Sports, Sports Sports programming has always been a major factor at the upfronts, but never more so than now. Linear TV still has the edge when it comes to live sports, and outlets like NBC are making the most of that. The broadcaster made its 11- year deal for NBA and WNBA rights a central part of its upfront, bringing out multiple current stars and revealing that Michael Jordan will be part of the network's basketball traditional TV outlets, in an effort to stave off live sports gains made by streamers, have gone all in not just on major players like the NFL, the NBA and the NHL, but also on basically any sports rights deal they can get their hands on. College-level sports of all kinds and smaller leagues got their time in the spotlight. But streamers made their sports presence felt more than ever. YouTube will livestream an NFL game for free in 2025. Amazon and Netflix announced major games for 'Thursday Night Football' and the Christmas Day doubleheader, respectively. Netflix got NFL commissioner Roger Goodell onstage (in a Santa coat, no less) to announce the 2025 Christmas course, not all the sports moments were highlight reel-worthy. At Fox's presentation, Tom Brady somehow missed an easy pass to Rob Gronkowski, with the ball sailing into the crowd, while Blake Griffin got smoked in a Pop-a-Shot shoot-off against former NFL star Ryan Fitzpatrick Upfronts Report Card Amazon Grade: ABest star moment: Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger going off scriptBest pitch: Michael B. Jordan revealing 'Creed' spinoff series 'Delphi'Best use of music: Lizzo performing 'About Damn Time' liveWorst use of jargon: 'Full funnel advertising'Biggest bet on a show: 'Spider-Noir' Amazon made its presence felt in a big way for the second consecutive year, boasting A-list star power with memorable moments (like Schwarzenegger hogging the stage until Curtis finally pulled him off) that fired up the crowd.

NBCUniversal Grade: BBest star moment Michael Jordan appearing (via video) to announce involvement in NBA on NBCBest pitch 'Wicked' taking center stage for the second year in a rowBest use of music John Tesh playing 'Roundball Rock' with an orchestraWorst use of jargon Stop trying to make 'Versant' happen, NBCU. As Seth Meyers joked, it sounds like a medication, not a media bet on a show NBA on NBC NBCU's presentation took two hours and felt even longer. But the company had a lot to promote (including fan favorites BravoCon and 'Wicked'), and shout-out to Mark Marshall for risking his life with his flying entrance. Netflix Grade: ABest star moment: Jerry Jones going way off scriptBest pitch: Jude Law and Jason Bateman teasing 'Black Rabbit'Best use of music: 'Thunderstruck' featuring the Dallas Cowboys cheerleadersWorst use of jargon: 'Our biggest titles … are not just shows anymore. They're vibes.'Biggest bet on a show: 'Stranger Things' final season Netflix put on a much heftier showcase of its new and returning offerings than it did last year. The presentation ran barely 80 minutes, but packed in a ton of info and news. Warner Bros.

Discovery was doing well at first, but its event went on too long. Maybe Tony Shalhoub didn't need to hype his bread show? This upfront also definitely lacked the razzle-dazzle and star power of years past.

They did a good job of showcasing new ad formats, creators and marketing results. And Gaga's performance brought down the house.
