Fox Renews Murder in a Small Town; O.J. Simpson Netflix Docuseries

Fox Television Network renewed its psychological "cozy crime" series Murder in a Small Town for a second season. Based on the Edgar Award-winning, nine-book Karl Alberg series by acclaimed novelist L.R. Wright and originally optioned by Soapbox Productions, the drama stars Rossif Sutherland (Reign, The Handmaid's Tale) and Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Beauty and the Beast).

Murder in a Small Town follows Karl Alberg (Sutherland), who moves to a quiet, coastal town to soothe a psyche that has been battered by big-city police work. He quickly learns that this gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets, and he will need to call upon all the skills that made him a world-class detective in solving the murders that, even in this seemingly idyllic setting, continue to wash up on his shore.

The crime of the century. The hunt for the truth. Watch American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson on January 29th, only on Netflix. This four episode docuseries takes an in-depth look at the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman and the trial that dominated the news cycle in the mid-1990s, from the chase on LA freeways to the riveting court proceedings.

Featuring new and candid interviews with key individuals - including Goldman's sister Kim, O.J. Simpson prosecutor Christopher Darden, L.A. police detective Mark Fuhrman, O.J. Simpson defense attorney Carl Douglas, and key witness Kato Kaelin - informed by 30 years of reflection, the series reexamines the true crime story that changed American culture. From director Floyd Russ (American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing, Untold: Malice at the Palace) American Manhunt: OJ Simpson offers a fresh perspective on a case viewers only think they know.
