KI Lands RTL Presale for True-Crime Series

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Keshet International has presold Woodcut Media’s true-crime series World’s Most Evil Killers to RTL for German-speaking Europe.

The 20-episode series has been adjusted for local audiences and licensed to RTL in a multiyear pact. The series is also set to air on the free-to-air Sky U.K. channel Pick this year.

World’s Most Evil Killers examines the stories of dangerous and prolific murderers through a series of interviews—including first-hand accounts, expert views from criminologists, crime journalists and psychologists—archive footage and stylized reconstruction.

Nelly Feld, the head of sales and business development for Europe at Keshet International, said, “True crime continues to pull in viewers around the world and we couldn’t wish for a better platform in German speaking-Europe than RTL. World’s Most Evil Killers not only capitalizes on this demand but also gives viewers the opportunity to look deeper into the motivations behind these notorious crimes and learn about the psychology that underpins each criminal’s actions.”
