FilmRise Unveils Two New True-Crime Co-Pros

FilmRise has clinched co-production deals for two new true-crime titles: Murder in Mind and Pushed to Death.

Produced by Back 2 Back Productions, Murder in Mind is being made alongside CBS AMC Networks UK Channels Partnership and Blue Ant Studios. Pushed to Death, from Coming Up Roses, is being made with CBS AMC Networks Channels Partnership and All3Media International. All3Media International will be distributing Pushed to Death under its U.K. title, Fatal Fall: Murder or Accident, internationally.

FilmRise has exclusive North American rights in all media for both Murder in Mind and Pushed to Death.

Jonitha Keymoore, senior VP of content acquisitions at Radial Entertainment, the parent company of FilmRise, noted: “FilmRise has a strong track record of delivering true crime that resonates with North American audiences. Viewers expect fresh angles into the genre, and both series deliver. Murder in Mind examines the psychology behind killers, while Pushed to Death uncovers a shocking pattern of fatal falls. Together they rein-force our commitment to distinctive storytelling and to growing the FilmRise True Crime brand across platforms. Much like our other popular series Killers: Caught on Camera and Murdered at First Sight, we like to develop shows that take a different angle from what’s already out there, keeping audiences engaged. Murder in Mind dives into the psychology of what might make a ‘murderer,’ while Pushed to Death shines a light on a lesser-explored type of crime. We’re confident both series will captivate and resonate with viewers.”

Sam Rowden, VP of the content team at AMC Networks International UK, noted: “Fatal Fall: Murder or Accident is a gripping and emotionally charged series that explores the intriguing mysteries behind these tragic deaths. We’re thrilled to co-produce with FilmRise and collaborate with Coming Up Roses and All3Media International to bring this powerful narrative to UK audiences. It’s a strong addition to our TRUE CRIME channel slate and will also enhance our wider content offering beyond linear.”

Rachel Job, senior VP of unscripted content at All3Media International, added: “We are delighted to be working with the brilliant team at Coming Up Roses and to partner with AMC and FilmRise on this true-crime series. With its gripping central question— was it a fall or a push—the show delivers an incredible hook through which to explore compelling, edge-of-your-seat true crime stories that will resonate with audiences worldwide.”
