ATLANTA — Following a year when the city of Atlanta had its most homicides since 1996, Oxygen has debuted a new true-crime series dubbed “The Real Murders of Atlanta.”
“We were really riffing off the Bravo brand filter,” said Stephanie Drachkovitch, co-founder of 44 Blue Productions, which also created “The Real Murders of Orange County.” “The city appealed to us given its rich tapestry and history. There’s sports and hip-hop, the tech industry and aviation. There’s the immigration patterns in recent decades.”
The weekly series debuted Sunday and will have 10 episodes in its first season.
