True Crime Story: Indefensible (SUNDANCE TV / AMC+)
New Episodes Premiere Thursday, October 27; First Two Episodes Available on AMC+ with Subsequent Episodes Available One Week Early on AMC+
In True Crime Story: Indefensible, Academy Award nominee Jena Friedman (The Daily Show) travels the country to unspool real cases on the ground, but unlike most true crime shows, this one doesn't end when the criminal gets locked up. Jena finds there's always more to the story and drives to a different outcome beyond the simple whodunnit. Using her unflinching comedic point of view and disarming interview skills, Jena uncovers the "why" and "how" not only of crimes themselves, but of our sometimes dysfunctional criminal justice system.***
In six new episodes of Indefensible, Friedman uses her unflinching comedic point of view and disarming interview skills to uncover the "why" and "how" not only of crimes themselves, but of our sometimes dysfunctional criminal justice system.
Blake Callaway, General Manager of SundanceTV, said "We are thrilled to continue the 'True Crime Story' franchise, which allows Hilarie Burton Morgan and Jena Friedman to bring their unique perspectives to an incredibly popular genre. 'True Crime Story' highlights the personal stories of those impacted by crime and also touches on the issues of our justice system. These cases also have the power to change people's lives. The team behind It Couldn't Happen Here featured a story that helped secure freedom for Devonia Inman, who had been wrongfully imprisoned for 23 years. We're looking forward to revisiting new cases that challenge the system and speak the truth."
Hilarie Burton Morgan noted, "SundanceTV has been a supportive partner in raising awareness of the inequities that exist in small towns when traumatic crimes occur. I'm so grateful for their willingness to bend the true crime genre in the direction of advocacy."
Jena Friedman said, "I'm looking forward to working with SundanceTV on the next batch of episodes, so we can shed a light on miscarriages of justice within our legal system."
Produced by Bungalow Media + Entertainment, executive producers of It Couldn't Happen Here are Robert Friedman, Liz Yale Marsh, and Mike Powers for Bungalow Media + Entertainment as well as Hilarie Burton Morgan for Mischief Farm, Liz DeCesare and Meg Mortimer for Authentic Management Productions, and Po Kutchins, who also serves as series director.
Producers encourage those aware of any cases that were overlooked in small towns to submit their stories to ichhstories@gmail.com.
Indefensible is produced by Left/Right. Executive producers are Jena Friedman, Ken Druckerman, Banks Tarver, and Anneka Jones.
SundanceTV created the "True Crime Story" franchise to build off its success of critically acclaimed limited true crime series including The Preppy Murder: Death In Central Park, No One Saw A Thing and Jonestown: Terror In the Jungle and the continuing strong performance of its acquired crime dramas.
