Shows and Podcasts Breaking Down the Murdaugh Family, Murder Investigation and Trial
The sentencing of disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh for the murders of his wife and son is unlikely to end the public’s fascination with the family: There are already TV specials, docuseries and podcasts about the slayings and at least two scripted shows on the way.
Murdaugh was sentenced to life in prison on Friday after being convicted a day earlier of killing his wife, Margaret “Maggie” Murdaugh, and their youngest son, Paul. He was found guilty on all charges, including two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon in the commitment of a violent crime.

In June 2021, Maggie and Paul were found shot to death on the family’s estate in Colleton County, South Carolina. But the prominent family’s legacy began unraveling years earlier when questions arose following the death of Mallory Beach in a boating accident involving Paul, the unsolved 2015 death of Stephen Smith (a former classmate of the Murdaugh’s eldest son) and the 2018 death of Gloria Satterfield, the family’s longtime housekeeper. Other allegations against Alex Murdaugh, who denied killing his family, include drug trafficking, bank fraud, an insurance scheme and a botched suicide plot.
Below are shows and podcasts covering the Murdaugh family, the murder trial and everything in between.

The series also includes first-hand accounts from those involved in the boating tragedy and covers a century of corruption, power and cover-ups in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina that the murder investigation brought to light.
