New True Crime Series Coming In 2023
The Neverending Murder
The Neverending Murder will premiere in 2023, focusing on British woman Nicola Payne’s disappearance in 1991. The investigation was one of the biggest in West Midlands Police Force history. Director Leo Pearlman said in a statement to Variety, “The importance we all feel in telling this story and bringing it back to the forefront of debate in this country cannot be overestimated. We must all ask ourselves whether in the 30-plus years since Nicola’s murder anything has truly changed. This is a film of huge importance and one that we hope makes us all question our society. Above all else, we are extremely grateful to Nicola’s family for their bravery in sharing their story with us.”
