Murdaugh: Death in the Family cast includes Succesion and NCIS Los Angeles stars
Murdaugh Death In The Family, which is based on the real-life Murdaugh double murder case, boasts an impressive star-studded cast.
If the chilling real-life double murder case at the heart of Murdaugh Death In The Family doesn't draw in viewers, its stellar cast certainly will.
In June 2021, Maggie Murdaugh and her son Paul were brutally killed at their family residence in Hampton, South Carolina.
It was Alex Murdaugh, Maggie's husband and Paul's father, who reported the incident to the police, but it later emerged that the prominent personal injury lawyer was actually the perpetrator of the heinous crime against his own family.
Alex was subsequently handed two consecutive life sentences plus an additional 40 years in federal prison for financial crimes.
Debuting on Wednesday, October 14, Murdaugh Death In The Family will delve into the events leading up to the tragic murders of Maggie and Paul, as well as the fallout.
