Monster Films, the team behind last year’s CBS Reality ratings hit Voice of a Serial Killer, is producing Murder by the Sea, which is slated to premiere May 21 at 10 p.m. The 6×1-hour series is presented by journalist and true-crime author Geoffrey Wansell, who examines some of the strangest and most terrifying murders ever recorded in British criminal history.

Also coming to the network, Trace of Evil is produced by Peninsula Television (Teens Who Kill, Uncovering Intimate Partner Abuse). The show will debut on May 9 at 10 p.m. Out of the 26 episodes commissioned up front, the first season consists of eight parts.
