Overview
- Peacock is developing a scripted drama about the Gilgo Beach murders with writer and executive producer Jordan Hawley and executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
- The series is inspired by Peacock’s docuseries The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets, with UCP producing alongside Jackson’s G-Unit Films and Television.
- The docuseries added a fourth episode on April 23, two weeks after Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to murdering eight women, and he is set for sentencing in June.
- The official description frames a decades-long manhunt that ends when detectives crack the case and a family must confront the suspect’s double life.
- Police found 10 sets of human remains near Gilgo Beach in 2010–2011, and the scripted project has no announced casting, greenlight, or release timeline.
