The truth about who was responsible for her death remained unclear for years.<\/p>\n<p>Clare Laycock, senior VP of planning and insights and head of entertainment at Discovery, said: \u201cWe all remember this horrific story and the press coverage it generated. Anni Dewani lost her life in the most tragic of circumstances\u2014but the full story hasn\u2019t yet been told. Dragonfly has done an incredible job of reviewing the investigation and producing an enthralling narrative about her family\u2019s search for answers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richard Bond, managing director of Dragonfly, said: \u201cIt\u2019s been a real privilege for Dragonfly to work so closely with Anni\u2019s family, and their support allowed us to investigate her tragic story in forensic detail.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discovery has commissioned Anni: The Honeymoon Murder (w\/t), a four-part series that delves into the high-profile investigation in South Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16929,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[5818,82],"class_list":["post-16928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-anni-the-honeymoon-murder","tag-discovery","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>discovery+ to Launch Anni Dewani Docuseries - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-to-launch-anni-dewani-docuseries\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"discovery+ to Launch Anni Dewani Docuseries - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Discovery has commissioned Anni: The Honeymoon Murder (w\/t), a four-part series that delves into the high-profile investigation in South Africa.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-to-launch-anni-dewani-docuseries\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-10-04T13:54:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-10-04T14:54:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/discoveryplus-0921.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-to-launch-anni-dewani-docuseries\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-to-launch-anni-dewani-docuseries\/\",\"name\":\"discovery+ to Launch Anni Dewani Docuseries - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-10-04T13:54:05+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-10-04T14:54:58+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-to-launch-anni-dewani-docuseries\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-to-launch-anni-dewani-docuseries\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-to-launch-anni-dewani-docuseries\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"discovery+ to Launch Anni Dewani Docuseries\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
