Over the last few years, Netflix has been one of the top destinations for audiences to get their true crime fix. From limited series like Making a Murderer and Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel to feature-length productions including The Girl in the Picture and Lover, Stalker, Killer, the streamer has been knocking it out of the park, delivering spin-chilling, intriguing, and downright unsettling content. Soon, the platform will bring another infamous murder case to your queue with Homicide: Los Angeles arriving on July 16. A brand-new trailer begins to piece together the puzzles behind headline-making murders involving famous names in The City of Angels.
Focusing on a number of different slayings that took place in the titular county over the last four decades, the trailer for Homicide: Los Angeles features interviews with the detectives, prosecutors, and – most importantly – friends and family of the victims to talk about their connection to these horrifying cases. Many will know the story of legendary record producer, Phil Spector, who, after a lengthy career working with bands including The Ronettes, The Beatles, and Ramones, was found guilty of the murder of Lana Clarkson. The story of the man behind the facade, Spector’s tale, is just one of many that audiences will learn about in Netflix’s upcoming series. Other clips of the docuseries featured in the trailer focus on the mysterious disappearance and death of Fox executive Gavin Smith and the murder of a young mother named Teresa Boudreaux.
This is the second installment to come from what could easily move into franchise territory, as Homicide: Los Angeles was preceded by Homicide: New York, which arrived earlier this year. When you look at the folks involved with your latest true crime binge, it isn’t a surprise at all that the project has become such a hit with fans. The second installment of the docuseries comes from Law & Order creator, Dick Wolf, who made his fortune from police and courtroom dramas, many of which found inspiration in headline-making cases like these. Wolf executive produces the production alongside Tom Thayer, Dan Cutforth, Dan Volpe, Jane Lipsitz, Nan Strait, and Adam Kassen.
