CBS Reality Unveils New True-Crime Originals for the U.K. & Poland

CBS Reality has revealed a lineup of new true-crime original programming for the fall season, including The Truth About My Murder.

Hosted by forensic pathologist and author Dr. Richard Shepherd, The Truth About My Murder shows viewers how he uncovers the truth behind horrific crimes through the victims’ bodies, separating fact from fiction. The series was produced by Yeti Television and will premiere on CBS Reality on September 22.

Wrongly Accused is produced by Monster Films and is set to launch on November 15. It examines a series of investigations that consequently led to a wrongful conviction and the reinvestigation that eventually caught the murderer. In season seven of Murder by the Sea, crime historian and author Dr. Nell Darby reprises her role as the host as she investigates further cases of seaside murders. The new episodes were produced by Monster Films and will debut on CBS Reality on September 6.

Building on CBS Reality’s strategy in Poland, two new locally produced original true-crime series—Always Upholding the Law and A Crime Without a Body—will also air in Poland later this year.

The two-parter Always Upholding the Law tells the story of the disappearance of a police officer after he intervened in a robbery at a time when he was off duty. It is produced by Blueberry Media and will premiere on CBS Reality in Poland on August 13. A Crime Without a Body, meanwhile, analyzes murder cases in which the key piece of evidence—the body—is disposed of by the perpetrators. Produced by Jake Vision, it will premiere on CBS Reality in Poland this fall.

Sam Rowden, VP of content and production at CBS Channels, said: “We are very pleased to announce these fantastic new originals focusing on bringing true crime to our audiences in new and intriguing ways, and with the strongest production companies in this genre, all of which continue to position CBS Reality as the home of expert-led true-crime programming.”
