Per ELisa

In 1993, Elisa Claps vanished without a trace in Potenza.

The Hunt for a Killer

Sweden, the 1980s. A 10-year-old girl is murdered, shaking the nation.

The Sixth Commandment

This harrowing drama is based on the true story of Benjamin Field

Until I Kill You

This mini-series tells the true story of Delia Balmer, a woman who survived horrifying violence at the hands of a man who should never have been free to commit his heinous crimes.

White House Farm

In 1985, a peaceful farmhouse became the scene of a brutal massacre.

Maxine opens the TRUE CRIME DRAMA genre with a three-part drama about providing an alibi for the killer of two girls, raising questions about complicity. The story captured public attention and continues to spark intense debate. Focusing on Maxine Carr, the series explores how she lied to protect her fiancé, Ian Huntley, who was later convicted of murdering two 10-year-old girls.

It asks: where does manipulation end and complicity begin? Can someone be both a victim and a perpetrator?

Complementing this perfectly is the Italian drama Per Elisa – Il caso Claps, which tells the story of Elisa Claps’ disappearance and her brother’s fight for the truth against a wall of silence, from bureaucracy to church authorities, for years. It is a moving story of a missing woman and a family determined that the truth will not be buried.

In TRUE CRIME DRAMA, two deeply affecting British series, The Sixth Commandment and White House Farm, reveal how the appearance of safety can collapse in an instant.

The Sixth Commandment reconstructs one of the most disturbing recent cases involving teacher Peter Farquhar and the manipulative Ben Field. It’s a story of trust, dependence and toxic control flourishing in the shadows of religion, friendship and isolation. The series captivates while confronting viewers with the ease with which someone can fall victim to emotional and psychological manipulation.

White House Farm depicts a family drama surrounding a triple murder that shocked the UK. The story not only reveals personal tragedy, but also investigative errors and a police officer who refuses to accept obvious yet false conclusions. It is a tale that proves the truth isn’t always where the first clues point.

TRUE CRIME DRAMA pairs Nordic coolness with brutal personal survival stories in The Hunt for a Killer and Until I Kill You.

The Swedish series The Hunt for a Killer is set in the countryside and follows the investigation into the brutal murder of 10-year-old Helén Nilsson, which remained unsolved for years. It follows the detectives who persevere against pressure, politics and bureaucracy, refusing to let the case be archived.

Meanwhile, Until I Kill You is an intensely personal drama based on true events - the story of Delia Balmer, who survived an attack by her partner and later confronted him in court. It's a tale of female strength, trauma and fighting for justice in a system that is meant to protect, but often fails to do so.

Maxine: the most controversia true crime drama in the UK.

The Soham murders shocked an entire nation. This three-part drama follows the investigation into the murders of two 10-year-old girls by Maxine Carr and her fiancé, Ian Huntley, who were later convicted. The series delves into their turbulent relationship and asks: why did Maxine lie, and how did she become public enemy number one?

Watch Maxine to discover the story that shook the UK and still sparks intense debate today.
