Oxygen True Crime
Oxygen True Crime, Home of High-quality True-crime Programming, Adds Five New Series Premiering in Q4 2023 and 2024, and Picks Up Three Returning Series
On the heels of its best year in primetime in nearly 10 years, Oxygen, the home of high-quality, true-crime programming, adds new series to its lineup beginning fall 2023.
The upcoming programming includes “Texas Justice with Kelly Siegler” (WT) in which the former prosecutor takes viewers through complicated and disturbing murders in the bucolic towns and urban centers of her home state; “The Pike County Murders” (WT), which explores the brutal murders of eight family members in four locations in a single horrific night; and “Real Murders of Los Angeles,” (WT) following the gripping cases of SoCal’s most beautiful people, from industry insiders and aspiring stars to its desperate dreamers and cynical scammers who fell prey to those who wanted them out of the spotlight.
Three additional series will return over the course of the year following the spring 2023 premiere of “New York Homicide” season two, wherein NYPD Retired Chief of Detectives Robert K. Boyce dives deep into some of the worst murders in the city’s recent history. Season five of “Homicide for the Holidays,” investigating murders committed when joyful times turn terrifying, is slated for this spring with additional episodes bowing in the fall. “Final Moments,” following law enforcement’s efforts to solve a murder hinging on the victim’s last known surveillance images, texts and social media posts, returns for season two this fall. In addition, a new season of “Snapped” returns this fall as well.
Season seven of “Cold Justice,” from Wolf Entertainment and Magical Elves, returns in 2024 and follows former prosecutor Kelly Siegler and her team of detectives as they investigate unsolved homicides in small towns. While working with local law enforcement, the “Cold Justice” team has successfully helped bring about 49 arrests and 21 convictions.
