Manhunt true story explained. Seen here is Martin Clunes as DCI Colin Sutton in Manhunt

The Manhunt true story is just as devastating as the ITV drama’s first season and now the show is back airing some might be wondering about the case that it dramatizes.

Just like the Steeltown Murders true story and the multiple heartbreaking cases Missing: Dead or Alive tells, Manhunt season 1 takes inspiration from heart-wrenching real-life events. Originally premiering in 2019, the ITV drama is now showing again and stars Martin Clunes as DCI Colin Sutton. The determined detective led the investigation into the murder of Amélie Delegrange and Manhunt focuses on law enforcement’s quest to arrest her killer. The first season, just titled Manhunt, was met with critical acclaim and many fans and newcomers to the show alike might now be wondering more about the investigation it was based on.
