CBS has given a put pilot order to a remake of the BBC miniseries “Murder” from executive producer Dan Lin, Variety has learned exclusively.
The potential series will be shot like a true crime documentary, taking audience inside the emotional journey of an investigation, allowing them to discern the truth and judge the suspects’ guilt or innocence for themselves. The first installment of the BBC version released in 2012, with three follow-ups released in 2016. Each episode serves as a standalone story and describes the events leading to and immediately after a murder has taken place.
Lin, who also recently produced the hit horror film “It,” will executive produce under his Lin Pictures banner. Amanda Green will write and executive produce. Green previously worked with Lin as a writer on Fox’s “Lethal Weapon,” which Lin executive produces.
