FilmRise Preps Bloodline Detectives with Nancy Grace

FilmRise has unveiled Bloodline Detectives, a new true-crime documentary series, hosted by Nancy Grace.

The series will take viewers behind the scenes of cold cases as detectives solve the old murder investigations using genetic genealogy and familial searching. Detectives can use these techniques to pinpoint an unknown criminal’s relatives and then trace their family tree to reveal the killer. Season one of Bloodline Detectives premieres on October 3, while season two is slated to air in early 2021.

FilmRise co-produces Bloodline Detectives with Peninsula Television, in partnership with Sky Studios.

Grace opens each episode by detailing a highly publicized violent crime with unknown motives. She then passes the story to the “Bloodline Detectives” and forensic scientists trained in DNA profiling to reveal the identities of notoriously elusive criminals. Grace closes each episode by leading viewers through the case’s resolution and impact on the criminal justice system.
