In a two-pronged extension of its business independent documentary, factual and formats producer Rare TV has announced its first UK commission for a true-crime series and promoted Susannah Zeff to head of UK development after almost a decade at the company.
The UK’s 5STAR free-to-air digital channel has ordered Body of Evidence (w/t), a returnable series that examines British murder investigations that ran cold, only to be cracked years later by dedicated detectives determined to catch the killer. The series makes use of timeline graphics to highlight the key events of each murder investigation, while police interrogation footage and real crime-scene photos provide a tense and dramatic backdrop. Cinematically framed and interspersed with testimonies from detectives, family members and crime journalists, the series leads viewers through the case’s twists and turns before finally revealing the key piece of evidence that cracked the case.
