Hud Woodle, executive VP of international sales and operations at GRB Studios, on the enduring appeal of true-crime programming.<\/em><\/p>\n

True-crime programming has seemingly endless appeal for TV viewers\u2014armchair detectives eager to get to the bottom of who did it and what drove them to do it. \u201cEveryone loves a good mystery, and that\u2019s what these true-crime shows are at their hearts,\u201d says Woodle. \u201cFrankly, it also feels good\u2014perhaps, these days more than ever\u2014to see the bad guy (or gal) get caught!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But with a glut of true-crime series and specials in the marketplace, it\u2019s become even more essential that a program presents fresh perspectives or unique insights in order to stand out from the pack.<\/span><\/p>\n

The GRB slate includes <\/span>On the Case<\/span><\/i>, exploring murder mysteries through in-depth interviews with those closest to the case and examining the forensic evidence that helped unravel the mystery. First-person accounts from witnesses and suspects reveal the raw emotions left behind from personal tragedies and the motives of the perpetrators. Journalist and newscaster Paula Zahn leads the action. GRB just announced season ten of <\/span>On the Case with Paula Zahn<\/span><\/i>, produced for Discovery, will be available to international buyers later this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TV journalist Deborah Norville is at the center of the action in <\/span>Executed<\/span><\/i>, which spotlights criminal cases that resulted in the ultimate punishment: death. Produced for REELZ, each episode features shocking stories of heinous acts, guilty verdicts and the condemned paying the price for their crimes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Produced for TV One, <\/span>For My Man<\/span><\/i> features shocking stories of women who have committed crimes in the name of love. There are six seasons on offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>It Happened Here<\/span><\/i>, produced for REELZ, visits the locations of some of the world\u2019s most controversial celebrity deaths and discovers the roles that fate, circumstance and luck played in each icon\u2019s journey to fame and tragedy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Meanwhile, classic titles such as <\/span>Occult Crimes <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Wicked Attraction<\/span><\/i> continue to perform well. Recent sales have been secured with Blue Ant in Canada and ProSieben in Germany, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt always comes back to good storytelling,\u201d says Woodle on the USP needed to stand out in today\u2019s marketplace. \u201cThe GRB lineup features over 900 hours of masterfully crafted, compellingly presented crime stories, told in a way that keeps the audience glued to the screen, asking, \u2018Who done it!?!\u2019 till the very end. Oftentimes, viewers will rewatch crime content even though they know how it ends, proving that nothing beats a great story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
