FilmRise Signs Co-Pro Deal for Millionaire Murders

FilmRise has aligned with U.K.-based indie Phoenix Television to co-produce the new true-crime series Millionaire Murders.

FilmRise will handle all distribution rights to Millionaire Murders in the U.S. and Canada. Each episode of the 10×60-minute series depicts a murder case where either the killer or the victim lived a life of wealth.

The series features two cases from the U.K. and eight from the U.S., with each examined in forensic detail as investigators, family, friends and experts unpack how and why the murder happened and the police work that brought the perpetrator to justice.

Jonitha Keymoore, head of content for FilmRise, said: “True crime is one of FilmRise’s signature genres, and we are excited to be working with Phoenix Television on Millionaire Murders. This gripping new series explores the lengths some will go in pursuit of power and fortune.”

Jaimi West, founding partner of Phoenix Television, added: “Our true-crime programs have universal appeal, showcasing a blend of intrigue and innovation. We are thrilled to have FilmRise on board as a co-producer for Millionaire Murders, ensuring our commitment to high-quality standards across all our programs. This partnership will also help distribute the series to a wide audience, allowing viewers in North America to experience this one-of-a-kind show.”
