LOS ANGELES: Electus International has picked up the global distribution rights for the documentary A Murder in the Park and had already clinched deals for the film in Benelux and Australia.

Electus International signed deals with Foxtel in Australia and an undisclosed broadcaster in Benelux; more are expected to follow. The film was acquired for the U.S. by Sundance Selects and IFC, and was released theatrically by IFC last year. Additionally, A Murder in the Park will air in the U.S. on a premium cable broadcaster in March, and will be available on Netflix afterward (U.S. only).

A Murder in the Park is an incredible documentary that carefully explores one of the most scandalous and riveting true-crime cases in recent memory,” said Darah Wagner, the director of acquisitions at Electus International. “The true-crime genre is exploding in popularity in recent years, and we’re excited to bring what Time Magazine called one of the 15 most fascinating true-crime stories ever told to audiences around the world.”
