Stern & Wild client’s gripping series on shocking Florida high society murder premieres next week
We are thrilled for Stern & Wild filmmaker Sebastian Smith whose latest true-crime offering is set to stream on Hulu and Disney+ from Tuesday 1 September.
The four-part docuseries WELCOME TO THE FAMILY: THE MURDER OF DAN MARKEL explores the investigation of a brutal killing that gripped America for over a decade involving two divorced law professors, a wealthy ‘dental dynasty’ and a shocking murder-for-hire plot.
The series uncovers the extraordinary story surrounding the 2014 killing of 41-year-old Florida State law professor Dan Markel and includes a cast of larger-than-life suspects, a messy custody battle, ex-lovers and a startling family conspiracy. It features exclusive audio and first-time interviews with those at the centre of the case, including FBI investigators, a number of Markel’s ex-in-laws and some outlaws too!
The series is produced by UK indie Curious Films for ABC News Studios. It is directed by Sebastian (GIRL ON THE RUN: THE HUNT FOR AMERICA’S MOST WANTED WOMAN), produced by Lily Fletcher and executive produced by Dov Freedman and Charlie Russell for Curious Films. David Sloan is senior executive producer for ABC News Studios with Claire Weinraub as executive producer.
