Netflix to Produce Ted Bundy Series
by EG
It might not have the suspense of Making a Murderer, but a new series about serial killer Ted Bundy should get the attention of true-crime enthusiasts. That's what Netflix is hoping, anyway. Read on for details.
Netflix is adding another true-crime series to its roster, this time focusing on notorious serial killer Ted Bundy.
The streaming service, home to Making a Murderer, The Keepers and numerous other crime docuseries, will premiere Conversations With a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes on Jan. 24. The date is exactly 30 years after Bundy was executed for the 1978 murder of Kimberly Leach.
Conversations With a Killer, from Emmy winner Joe Berlinger (Paradise Lost), will feature previously unheard audio of interviews with Bundy while he was on death row in Florida. The four-episode series will also detail Bundy's killings — he was convicted of or confessed to murdering more than 30 women in the 1970s — and the media frenzy around his trials, including the adoration of a number of women and his in-court marriage to Carole Ann Boone, who was testifying on his behalf.
Berlinger also directed Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, a narrative feature about the killer (starring Zac Efron as Bundy) that will premiere at the upcoming Sundance Film Festival.
