Additional episodes will premiere weekly on Thursdays on all three platforms.

A riveting true crime docu-series, The Furry Detectives: Unmasking A Monster unpacks the 2018 event known in the Furry community as the “Furry Zoosadist Leaks,” which exposed a horrifying conspiracy of animal abuse lurking beneath the Fandom’s playful exterior. The series follows the pack of dedicated vigilantes who teamed up to bring down the monsters behind the masks. Navigating the line between amateur sleuthing and official police investigation, the Furry Detectives exposed a ring of animal abusers, fought for victims, and defended their community from the evil within.
The Furry Detectives: Unmasking A Monster, a Sundance Now Original Series, is directed and executive produced by Theo Love. Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions produces with the company’s Razan Ghalayini, Richard Perello, and Taylor Rogers serving as executive producers. Julia Lindau serves as producer.
