In this MGM+ Original series, best-selling crime novelist, Michael Connelly (Bosch, The Lincoln Lawyer), takes us on a wild journey into the twisted story of the massacre at Wonderland Avenue on July 1, 1981 – one of Hollywood’s most famous murder cases that has fascinated people for more than 40 years.

This case symbolized an era in Los Angeles – involving sex, drugs, rock n’ roll… and murder. It is the real-life story that inspired Boogie Nights.

In noir-style, verité interviews, Connelly seeks key details about this gruesome quadruple murder with the original detectives, prosecutors, and undercover cops he’d come to know as a young crime beat reporter for The Los Angeles Times.

As the investigation unfolds, weaving in rare archival footage and photos, a colorful cast of characters emerges – famous porn star John Holmes, drug dealers and kingpins, mafiosos, televangelists, and multiple celebrities, including Liberace and his boyfriend, enigma Scott Thorson.

In a game of cat-and-mouse, Connelly tries to pin down the facts of Thorson’s many larger-than-life and stranger-than-fiction stories. After four decades, Thorson’s interview may be the last to help distinguish between the crime and the truth.

But do we believe him?

The four-episode docuseries debuts on MGM+ on September 8. It is based on Connelly’s hit Audible podcast series and directed by Alison Ellwood (San Francisco Sounds, Laurel Canyon). The series is distributed worldwide by Amazon MGM Studios Distribution.

Featuring | Investigative journalist and author Michael Connelly, retired LAPD detective, “Godfather of Crime Writers” Rick Jackson, testimony from “missing witness” Scott Thorson, best known as Liberace’s boyfriend, and more.

Directed by | Alison Ellwood

Executive Produced by | Michael Connelly, Alison Ellwood, Jen Casey and Nick Gilhool, Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman for IPC, and Rick Jackson.

Produced by | Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC) in association with Miziker Entertainment, Hieronymus Pictures, and One Traveler
