In June 2022, Deadline reported that the syndicated true crime show would air in 95% of the country starting in September.[1] The series comes from Scott Sternberg Productions (who also did ID’s On the Case With Paula Zahn) and Trifecta Entertainment & Media.[2] This is one of few syndicated shows premiering in fall 2022, joining talk shows hosted by Sherri Shepherd and Jennifer Hudson.

Trifecta will handle all domestic distribution and its president, Michael Daraio, will be in charge of all advertising and sponsorship sales for the show and Scott Sternberg Productions will be responsible for international sales.[3]

In mid-2023, the show was renewed for a second season which premiered on September 11, 2023.[4]

In February 2024, the show was renewed for a third season and premiered on September 9, 2024.[5]

Synopsis
