According to the official description, the series is "based on the stranger-than-fiction family drama of Maggie (Arquette) and Alex Murdaugh, a riveting account based on countless hours of reporting by Mandy Matney — journalist and creator of the popular 'Murdaugh Murders Podcast' — as well as exclusive, insider knowledge from her years of following the case."
The Murdaugh family was a powerful force in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina, wielding vast legal and political influence. But for the better part of a decade, the family has been accused of involvement in a variety of crimes, ranging from fraud to murder. In addition to the “Murdaugh Murders” podcast, they have been the subject of multiple docuseries and news specials.
