Crime Pays, And Everyone’s Buying

True crime television has been with us for eons, but with an ever-increasing range of platforms hungry for buzzworthy content, crime is at the top of the list for many buyers. And that makes the hunt for original IP in the space, as well as unique ways to approach the genre, as difficult to unearth as clues in a cold case. In this session, you’ll hear from content creators and network executives who are staking out new approaches to true crime TV —from podcasts and serials to Live PD and real-time revelations.
