The so-called "Murdaugh murders" — the shocking June 2021 killings of Maggie Murdaugh and her younger son, Paul, on their family estate by husband-father Alex Murdaugh — have provided plenty of titillating page-and-screen fodder for true crime fans over the years, most recently in the form of the 2023 Netflix docuseries entitled "Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal" and the Lifetime two-part film "Murdaugh Murders: The Movie."
The latest adaptation of the horrific real-life case is a new Hulu limited series, "Murdaugh: Death in the Family," which will recount the familial tragedy across eight hourlong episodes. The first three episodes will debut on the streaming service on Wednesday, October 15, with the final five installments rolling out weekly on Wednesdays until the finale on November 19.
