Murder By Medic

They are the men and women that we trust with our lives, but there are also rogue medics who use their medical know-how to commit murders. Doctors, nurses, paramedics, dentists and psychiatrists are trained to care and cure, but what happens when evil enters their hearts?

Each episode of Murder By Medic dissects the true story of a murderous physician as told by those who witnessed the cases unfold. What drives those who take an oath to save lives to kill instead?

Murder By Medic will be available to stream on Crime + Investigation Play from Tuesday, 20th August.

The First 48: Critical Minutes

The First 48: Critical Minutes looks back at some of the most unforgettable moments in the series’ history. Hosted by former The First 48 detectives, each episode presents different cases previously featured on the show, all with a common theme.

New episodes of The First 48: Critical Minutes will be available to stream on Crime + Investigation Play from Friday, 30th August. Other episodes are already streaming now.

60 Days In: The Jail

In the ninth season of 60 Days in the Jail, seven new participants voluntarily go undercover in the Utah County Jail to shed light on an influx of drugs, contraband and gang-related activity. They want to help the Sheriff identify these issues and create positive change for both the inmates and staff.

The Utah County Jail is one of the largest in the state and is run by Sheriff Mike Smith. For the first time in the show’s history, a new rule is enacted that means once a participant gives the distress signal, they will be pulled out immediately. With no time for second chances or moments of weakness, the fearless participants – each with their own personal motives – make a pact to do whatever it takes to expose the system’s flaws.

New episodes from season nine of 60 Days In: The Jail will be available to stream on Crime + Investigation Play every week. Seasons seven and eight are streaming now.

Very Scary People

Donnie Wahlberg returns to host the fourth season of Very Scary People. The series takes a closer look at some of the most frightening killers in recent history. Each episode traces the history, psychology and motives of these elusive criminals and presents how they were eventually caught.

Cases include the Ken and Barbie Killers, Back to School Killer, Sammy the Bull Gravano, The Hillside Stranglers, Cross Country Killer and John Gotti.

New episodes from season four of Very Scary People will be available to stream on Crime + Investigation Play every week. The first three seasons are streaming now.

Cut To The Crime

James Busby, well-known for his transformative online hairdressing content, welcomes contributors to his salon to sit in the chair, just like any other hairdresser. While they have their hair washed, cut, dried and styled, James nurtures them through a powerful conversation that allows them to share their story and the impact on their friends, family and the wider public.

Each contributor opens up during an honest chat that’s unfiltered, to the point, real and emotional.
