Bloodline Detectives Hosted by Nancy Grace Renewed

FilmRise has renewed Bloodline Detectives Hosted by Nancy Grace, its first original true-crime docuseries, for a third season.

The series explores how familial DNA searches and testing are used to uncover elusive criminals and is led by Grace, a legal analyst and former prosecutor. The first two seasons of Bloodline Detectives are available on digital platforms.

Produced by FilmRise and Peninsula Television, Bloodline Detectives takes viewers behind the scenes of cold cases as detectives solve years-old murder investigations using genetic genealogy and familial searching. Detectives can harness these techniques to pinpoint an unknown criminal’s relatives and then trace the path of a family tree to reveal the killer. The series’ third season will begin production later this month and begin airing this fall.

Max Einhorn, senior VP of acquisitions and co-productions at FilmRise, said: “We were able to experience firsthand the overwhelming demand for true-crime programming when we first acquired Unsolved Mysteries and Forensic Files. With the success of these two programs, we knew that when we moved into producing our own original content, this was the genre to build upon. Once we had Nancy Grace on board for Bloodline Detectives, there was no doubt in our minds that this program was going to be a major draw for the true-crime fan.”
