Tue 13 Jul 2021 01.00 EDT Channel 4 is launching a new platform dedicated to true crime programming as it attempts to respond to the boom in popularity of the genre, which it says is being driven by younger audiences. True Crime on 4 will launch in the autumn with shows including Surviving Jeffrey Epstein sitting alongside commissions such as Murder in the Alps, a three-part series about the murders of the Al-Hilli family and Sylvain Mollier in 2012. Similar to the Walter Presents strand of Channel 4 content, True Crime on 4 will offer a mix of commissions, archive and acquisitions on Channel 4, All 4 and its social media accounts, as it attempts to reach fans of the genre that has gone from niche to mainstream in the last decade.
