SundanceTV Expands Popular “True Crime Story” Franchise with Renewal of “It Couldn’t Happen Here,” Hosted by Hilarie Burton Morgan, and Greenlights for Two New Series

AMC Networks’ SundanceTV is expanding its successful “True Crime Story” franchise with the renewal of It Couldn’t Happen Here, hosted by New York Times bestselling author Hilarie Burton Morgan (One Tree Hill, The Walking Dead) and greenlights for two new series – True Crime Story: Citizen Detective and Crimes of Entitlement (w/t) – both focused on telling gripping true crime stories from unique perspectives. All three series join SundanceTV’s robust slate of “True Crime Story” content this year, kicking off with the debut of Look Into My Eyes on June 15.

Blake Callaway, General Manager of SundanceTV said: “True crime is more popular than ever, and SundanceTV has an exciting slate of original series that provide a unique and elevated take on the genre. Our goal is to give audiences something they love and to raise the profile of cases that were unsolved or perhaps unjust. Even better if we can have some real-world impact along the way. We are thrilled to have Hilarie bring her empathic approach to crime in small towns and her fierce advocacy back for another season of It Couldn’t Happen Here.”

Said Morgan, “I know how special it is to partner with a studio, network, production company, and crew who all see the value in doing things radically differently in the true crime space. From the jump, we wanted to correct many of the predatory practices that exist in the genre, and instead lead with advocacy and compassion. The fact that fans have rallied and we are seeing real change is proof that we need to keep going and keep shining a light.”

Robert Friedman, Executive Producer of It Couldn’t Happen Here added: “We are so happy that SundanceTV is renewing the series and continuing their commitment to shining a light on small town justice. Their reach, along with Hilarie’s passion for sharing the stories of underserved individuals, will continue to make a big difference in bringing awareness to these communities.”
