A+E Networks UK Orders Murder at My Door with Kym Marsh

A+E Networks UK has commissioned the eight-part true-crime series Murder at My Door with Kym Marsh for Crime + Investigation.

Hosted by the former Coronation Street star, Murder at My Door with Kym Marsh explores cases of innocent people murdered in their own homes by someone they thought they could trust and, in some cases, had known for many years. The series, produced by Woodcut Media, is slated to air in the U.K. on Crime + Investigation this fall.

Each case is supported by testimony from friends and family of the victims as well as a number of the detectives, police officers and forensic experts who worked on each case. Crime scene photographs and specially shot filming at each location help to retrace the steps of the murders in each episode, aiming to reveal the motives for the murders.

Diana Carter, commissioning editor and head of talent at A+E Networks UK, said: “We’re thrilled to collaborate with the great team at Woodcut Media on this project. Murder at My Door with Kym Marsh tells these important stories from new perspectives and breathes life into what, for many, was a passing newspaper headline, but which has left scars and fissures for those involved which endure to this day.”

Woodcut Media’s Matthew Gordon said: “We are delighted to be teaming up again with A+E Networks and Crime + Investigation to produce a series that highlights some truly harrowing cases these individuals could never have foreseen. Sensitivity surrounding the victims’ family and friends has also been paramount during filming in order to relay these stories in their raw form, to create compelling viewing but with integrity.”
