Netflix to make true-crime series on serial killer Ted Bundy

From Digital Spy

Netflix is set to continue its slate of true crime documentaries with a new four-part series about serial killer Ted Bundy.

The streaming giant has announced Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, which will take viewers "inside the mind of the infamous serial killer".

The series, directed by Joe Berlinger, will feature previously unheard interviews with Bundy while he was on death row in Florida and will premiere on January 24, 2019 – 30 years to the day he was executed.

Bundy confessed to and was convicted of murdering 30 women in the 1970s, and the documentary will also explore the media frenzy around his trial and his in-court marriage to Carole Ann Boone.

The serial killer's life will also be explored in the upcoming movie Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, starring Zac Efron as the convicted murderer.

That feature film will also be directed by Berlinger, and is said to be told through the eyes of Elizabeth Kloepfer (Lily Collins) as she realises the true nature of her other half.

A number of set photos have emerged over the past year or so and a first official image was released last month ahead of its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival this January.

The cast also includes Being John Malkovich's John Malkovich, The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons, Skins' Kaya Scodelario, Metallica frontman James Hetfield and Kingdom Hearts' Haley Joel Osment.

Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes will premiere on Netflix on January 24.
