Netflix Celebrates the Execution of Ted Bundy with “Conversations with a Killer” Docuseries
Netflix has announced a new docuseries titled Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, Deadline reports. The four-episode series will feature never-before-heard audio interviews with Ted Bundy on death row. Weirdly, the series will launch on January 24, 2019, which is 30 years after the date of his execution in Florida.
Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes brings the infamously twisted mind of serial killer Ted Bundy into the light for the very first time. The chilling series will invade our psyche with exclusive interviews that come from the “Jack the Ripper of the United States,” himself. This unique and gripping doc series focuses on the man whose personality, good looks and social graces defied the serial-killer stereotype, allowing him to hide in plain sight as he committed the brutal sex-crime slayings of more than 30 women before being caught in 1978. While on trial, Bundy received extraordinary adoration from American women, which made his gruesome crimes doubly haunting, even in an era of anything-goes mayhem.
Joe Berlinger serves as director and as executive producer alongside Justin Wilkes, Jon Doran and Jon Kamen. Sara Enright serves as producer. RadicalMedia is the production company in association with Third Eye Motion Picture Company. Berlinger also has the scripted Ted Bundy feature Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, premiering at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.
Production on season two of “Alien: Earth” has begun in London, and Deadline reports that Tracey Ullman (“Tracey Ullman’s Show“), Sam Spruell (“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms“), and Jerome Flynn (“Game of Thrones“) have joined the cast.
They join previously announced series newcomer Peter Dinklage.
No character details have been divulged so far.
“Alien: Earth” Season 2 is shooting at the historic Pinewood Studios — home of the original Alien as well as Aliens, Alien 3, and Prometheus. The show’s new production designer, Neil Lamont, is the son of Alien production designer Peter Lamont.
Set in the year 2120, five corporations wield the power of nations, and proprietary advancements in technology provide the promise of a new tomorrow. When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.
The second season “certainly expands on the promise of the first,” according to series creator Noah Hawley (“Fargo,” “Legion”). “It’s a bigger show, more world-building, and I can’t think of a better place for taking on that bigger challenge.”
Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Adrian Edmondson, David Rysdahl, Essie Davis, Lily Newmark, Erana James, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Kit Young, Diêm Camille, Moe Bar-El, and Sandra Yi Sencindiver star.
Also on the way from Noah Hawley? A remake of Argentine horror film Terrified for Warner Bros.
