Investigation Discovery, the preeminent destination for true crime, has closed a deal with filmmaker Michael Bay (the Transformers franchise, 13 Hours, Armageddon) to executive produce a new true crime docuseries. The series will expose a terrifying, yet little-known, true crime story and is set to premiere in 2024.
Bay said:
I’m a storyteller at heart; I’m fascinated by the human mind and exploring what makes each of us tick. When you approach documenting real-life crime from that perspective, the end result is always intriguing.
Known for the caliber of their programming, Investigation Discovery’s expertise in unscripted true crime is second to none, and I can’t wait to expose one of the most twisted crimes of the century.
Bay’s forthcoming series will join ID’s ever-growing slate of powerful docuseries that have been generating strong engagement across linear and streaming over the past year. In April, ID was the #1 Total Day Network without sports among women 25-54* and this past year, the network’s audience base has expanded to encompass new, unique viewers with previously released docuseries including THE PRICE OF GLEE, JARED FROM SUBWAY: CATCHING A MONSTER, as well as an upcoming explosive three-night television event THE CURIOUS CASE OF NATALIA GRACE which will premiere on May 29th. Cementing ID as a leader in must-watch true crime television, Bay’s new docuseries will continue this momentum and further bolster ID’s 2024 slate.
