A+E Networks UK has commissioned Woodcut Media to produce the new doc series Jo Frost on Killer Kids, which will premiere on Crime + Investigation in the U.K. this fall.

The 4×1-hour show will spotlight children who commit murder, with each episode exploring a different topic—from children who kill a family member to children who kill at school. Frost, a famed parenting expert best known from Supernanny, will lead the show, which investigates what led these children to commit murder and asks the question, are some children born evil?

Jo Frost on Killer Kids is produced by Woodcut Media and co-produced with Krempelwood Entertainment.

Koulla Anastasi, the director of Crime + Investigation at A+E Networks UK, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Jo Frost to Crime + Investigation’s growing stable of talent. With her extensive experience of working closely with children and challenged families, Jo will add context and insight to this compelling and exclusive new U.K. commission.”

Kate Beal, the CEO of Woodcut Media, said: “Jo Frost’s unique take will offer a fresh approach to this challenging topic as we explore the question of whether people are born evil, or if it’s a case of nature or nurture. Having forged a solid working relationship over the years with Crime + Investigation, we know this is the perfect platform to launch this fascinating new series.”

Frost said: “How families function and observing behavior patterns for decades led me very keen to develop this idea. Given Woodcut Media’s reputation in true crime, I knew they would be the perfect partner to team up with for this series. I’m extremely excited to be doing my debut documentary series for Crime + Investigation on such an important and yet gripping issue.”
