FilmRise & Zig Zag Prep The Interrogation Room

FilmRise and Zig Zag Productions are co-producing The Interrogation Room, hosted by Vivica A. Fox.

The Interrogation Room will follow as homicide detectives, armed with only their wits, home in on suspects and break down their lies. FilmRise is at MIPCOM shopping the title as an original and/or exclusive for broadcasters and streamers in the U.S.

Bomanbridge Media is on board as the deficit and distribution partner outside of the U.S. and Caribbean.

The Interrogation Room is expected to launch in early 2023.

Max Einhorn, senior VP of acquisitions and co-productions for FilmRise, commented, “The Interrogation Room will arrest viewers by taking them behind the scenes of interrogations, breaking down how detectives uncover the truth through interviews with suspects. Combine that with the star power of host Vivica A. Fox, we know The Interrogation Room will serve multiple audience verticals and be a must-watch for fans of true crime, a genre in which FilmRise has increasing resonance and recognition, both as a studio and streaming network.”

Danny Fenton, CEO of Zig Zag, added, “Partnering with FilmRise on this co-production ensures not only our continuation and commitment to high-quality programming but also creates a wide net of distribution, reaching true crime fans in numerous territories and in a variety of ways. We are excited to offer this series to those audiences that subscribe to their platforms and those that prefer to watch their programs for free.”

Fox commented, “This series shows what really goes on inside the interrogation room firsthand. I have long been a fan of true crime and have been particularly fascinated by the techniques law enforcement utilizes in trying to elicit a confession. I know crime show enthusiasts like me and even aspiring law enforcement officers are going to love this show.”
