A Killer Among Friends Sneak Peek
Investigation Discovery announced the premiere date for new true crime series A KILLER AMONG FRIENDS, executive produced and narrated by actress and producer Jennifer Love Hewitt.The six-part series will explore a group of interconnected individuals who are collectively haunted by a murder of one of their own, serving as the catalyst to unravel secrets, suspicions, and betrayals between friends.

A KILLER AMONG FRIENDS will premiere Monday, July 14 at 10/9c on ID, with new episodes airing weekly. Episodes will be available to stream on HBO Max.
“Identifying new pockets of storytelling in an innovative format has always been a passion of mine as an executive producer,” said Jennifer Love Hewitt. “A KILLER AMONG FRIENDS offers a unique opportunity for me to draw from my own work as an actress, as we blend together a kaleidoscope of perspectives to tell each of these tragedies that deeply impact group dynamics and shatter beliefs.”
From college friend groups, close-knit classmates or high school theater troupes, A KILLER AMONG FRIENDS will spotlight shocking cases of betrayal, jealousy, and violence. As each individual recounts their perspective on the crime or the victim, revelations will bubble to the surface about what really went wrong, as secrets they may have held for years or memories they may have suppressed resurface. A KILLER AMONG FRIENDS will showcase that each case may not be as simple as it seems – and ultimately reveal who may feel more complicit than they originally claimed.
