A modern-day manhunt that shines a light on the pervasive power of the internet, <em>Don\u2019t F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer<\/em> is the true story of a group of amateur online sleuths who launch a risky game of cat and mouse that pulls them into a dark underworld.<\/p>\n<p>When a video is posted online of a mysterious man killing two kittens, internet users across the world leap into action to find the perpetrator. Encouraged by the attention he&#8217;s receiving, the killer continues posting ever more disturbing videos, eventually crossing into murder.<\/p>\n<p>The series is directed by Mark Lewis (<em>Silk Road\u2014Death, Drugs and the Dark Web<\/em>, <em>Revelation: The End of Days<\/em>), who also doubles as a long-term executive producer at Raw.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis said: \u201cWhat is so mind-blowing for me about this documentary series is that it plays out like a real thriller, with twists and turns that no one will see coming, a cast of internet heroes whose resourcefulness will have you cheering from the sidelines, and a murderer whose true identity will have you gasping when he is finally unmasked. Even I struggle to remember that every moment of this story is true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Don\u2019t F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer<\/em> was executive produced by Dimitri Doganis and Adam Hawkins for Raw and Kate Townsend, Jonny Taylor and Adam Del Deo for Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>Felicity Morris served as producer on the series. She was recently appointed to the newly created role of head of U.S. documentary development. In her new role, Morris will oversee a slate of feature documentaries and premium limited series for U.S. as well as international networks and platforms. She has previously produced Raw\u2019s acclaimed series <em>Waco: Madman or Messiah?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hawkins said: \u201cFelicity has amazing instincts for what will make a great film and her track record, both in production and development, is exceptional. The need for premium documentaries and great factual story telling has never been stronger. She will be a brilliant addition to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raw Founder\u00a0Doganis said: \u201c<em>Don\u2019t F**k With Cats<\/em> is one of those stories that if you made it up, no one would believe you. It\u2019s great to have such a jaw-dropping tale as our first limited series for Netflix, and we are hugely grateful for the support and belief in the project we\u2019ve had from Kate, Jonny and the whole team there. With Felicity now in post, we\u2019re hoping we can build on the successes of <em>Three Identical Strangers<\/em>, <em>The Imposter<\/em>, and series like this one\u2014so look out for more of the same very soon!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raw, the indie production company behind Emmy-nominated Three Identical Strangers, has produced its first documentary series for Netflix and has appointed Felicity Morris to the newly created role of head of U.S. documentary development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":13703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[4438,4439,269,1930],"class_list":["post-13702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-dont-fk-with-cats-hunting-an-internet-killer","tag-felicity-morris","tag-netflix","tag-raw","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
