The double murders of Margaret “Maggie” Murdaugh and her son, Paul Murdaugh, dominated headlines in 2021—because they were part of a wealthy and well-connected South Carolina family, and because the man convicted of killing them was Alex Murdaugh, Maggie’s husband and Paul’s father.
Now, the story is the subject of a new Hulu true crime series, Murdaugh: Death in the Family, which premieres on October 15. The series, which is inspired by the popular “Murdaugh Murders Podcast” from journalist Mandy Matney, delves into the events leading up to Maggie and Paul’s deaths, including hidden secrets and the family’s connections to several other investigations and mysterious deaths.
