Murdaugh: Death in the Family (Disney+)

Family patriarch Alex, on trial at the time, was later sentenced to life without parole for killing his wife and son.

Now Hulu is retelling the family’s story in a much-anticipated drama, starring Jason Clarke as Alex and Patricia Arquette as his wife, Maggie. Born into wealth, the Murdaughs wielded influence over judges, police and even jurors in the courtroom, which explains why many other deaths that were linked to them were swept under the carpet.

Arquette won an Emmy in 2019 for another Hulu show based on a true crime story. In The Act, she played Dee Dee Blanchard who, for years, successfully convinced family, friends and a host of medical professionals and charities that her daughter Gypsy Rose suffered from leukaemia and muscular dystrophy, and had a mental age of seven.
