Dirty John took the world by storm when it first premiered in 2018 on Bravo. Season two followed in 2020 on the USA Network and recently landed on Netflix U.S. The second outing focuses on the true story of Betty Broderick (played by Amanda Peet), who shot and killed her husband Daniel Broderick III (Christian Slater) and his second wife Linda Kolkena in November 1989.
Betty and Dan met in their late teens and married four years later in 1969. They had four children together and while Dan completed his medical degree and later law degree, Betty worked long hours to support Dan and the family.
