US EditionTrue Crime Streaming Guide: News Reporting at Center of Hulu's "Murdaugh: Death in the Family"
The Hulu series dramatizes the Murdaugh family's legal and criminal scandals, including Alex's conviction for murdering his wife and son and facing 102 criminal charges, creators said.
- On Wednesday, November 19, Hulu's limited series Murdaugh: Death in the Family concluded its eight-episode run, showing Alex Murdaugh taking the stand and ending with his trial and conviction for the murders of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh.
- Based on Mandy Matney's reporting and The Murdaugh Murders podcast, creators Michael D. Fuller and Erin Lee Carr adapted the series after extensive research, tracing Paul Murdaugh's indictment and alleged financial crimes amid five deaths linked to the family.
- Jason Clarke prepared intensely by studying trial recordings, court transcripts, working with Tim Monich, and gaining about 40 pounds with wig and dyed eyebrows, while Johnny Berchtold used a 400-page binder and tricked his TikTok algorithm to immerse in South Carolina culture.
- Hulu has not announced plans for a Season 2, and creators Michael D. Fuller and Erin Lee Carr say major developments like appeals or new revelations would justify continuing after Alex Murdaugh’s conviction.
- With sensitivity to victims, creators Michael D. Fuller and Erin Lee Carr paused filming twice to honor real-life victims, while prosecutors depicted Alex Murdaugh facing intense scrutiny and numerous legal charges.
