All three series join SundanceTV&#8217;s robust slate of &#8220;<em>True Crime Story<\/em>&#8221; content this year, kicking off with the debut of <em>Look Into My Eyes<\/em> on June 15.<\/p>\n<p>Blake Callaway, General Manager of SundanceTV said: &#8220;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.

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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robert Friedman, Executive Producer of <em>It Couldn&#8217;t Happen Here<\/em> added: &#8220;We are so happy that SundanceTV is renewing the series and continuing their commitment to shining a light on small town justice.
