Breakthrough Entertainment proudly announces the sale of Cruise Ship Killers to A+E Networks UK, for their true crime channel, Crime + Investigation.
The deal covers the UK + Ireland, Poland, Central Eastern Europe, Netherlands + Belgium, Greece and Middle East. The 26×60’ factual true crime series from Farpoint Films exposes the best kept secret of the billion-dollar cruise ship industry: your life is at risk when you embark on a cruise.
Since 2011, more than 200 cruise line travellers — the majority women — have gone missing, with many presumed murdered. Some of the murders have been officially solved, but questions still linger. Others have been covered up for nefarious reasons. Cruise Ship Killers shines a light on these cases and aims to reveal the truth of what really happened at sea.
Crime + Investigation’s audiences will get an inside look at how investigators and victims’ own loved ones have probed these mysterious murders to uncover the truth. Cruise Ship Killers gives viewers an intimate account of the struggles faced by the family and friends of those missing or murdered and does a deep dive into each case with crime-scene experts. The show also includes dramatic recreations of the events.
Other shows previously sold by Breakthrough Entertainment to A+E Networks UK include I Lived With a Killer and Sex, Lies & Murder.
