As a few Twitter users noted today, Netflix has become the greatest of all time when it comes to true crime docs. It seems like every day, the streaming giant releases a new prestige series or film, but we are not complaining. Now there’s a new docuseries burning up the Netflix television charts.
The number one docuseries on the platform as of December 6, 2022 is Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields. In the documentary, an overgrown field and a stretch of highway connect a series of grisly murders spanning several decades as grieving families search for answers.
Oscar-nominated and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Joe Berlinger returns to executive produce season three of Crime Scene, the acclaimed documentary series exploring the ways in which certain locations aid and abet criminal activity.
The new season, directed by Emmy-Award-winning filmmaker Jessica Dimmock, investigates the “Texas Killing Fields,” a region with a dark pattern of girls who have disappeared and turned up dead.
Amidst the marshes and oil refineries alongside the interstate corridor connecting Houston and the beach town of Galveston, lies Calder Road—the patch of land that earned its name after the bodies of three young women were discovered there in the 1980s and a fourth in 1991. Their murders remain unsolved. But one grieving father refuses to give up on the hunt for his daughter’s killer, while the search and recovery organization he founded supports other local families facing similar tragedies.
His determined pursuit of justice for the victims drives the series as it delves into five decades of the area’s unsettling history, uncovering a pattern of eerie connections and missed opportunities surrounding the Calder Road cold cases that may, at long last, lead investigators to the truth.
Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields is an Imagine Documentaries and RadicalMedia Production in association with Third Eye Motion Picture Company.
Jessica Dimmock directed the series. Executive Producers include Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Joe Berlinger, Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes, Jon Kamen, Jon Doran, Jen Isaacson, Leslie Mattingly, and Jessica Dimmock.
