“Jessica Biel is a true powerhouse, both on and off the screen,” said Jason Sarlanis, President of Investigation Discovery. “Having captivated audiences with her portrayals of characters inspired by true crime, Jessica’s deep commitment to storytelling and her compelling narration now bring these real-life mysteries to life. At ID, we’re always looking for bold new ways to tell stories that captivate and resonate with our audience, and with Jessica at the helm, FATAL DESTINATION offers an unforgettable exploration into the dark side of paradise.”

“I have always been fascinated by the complexities behind true crime – what drives a person to commit such a heinous act, the dogged investigators that work diligently to solve the cases, and of course, the devastating impact on the loved ones left behind,” said executive producer Jessica Biel. “While I have performed in several scripted crime series, FATAL DESTINATION marks my first foray into executive producing unscripted true crime content, so partnering with ID, the leader in the genre, has been a dream come true in the process of exposing real-life nightmares.”
