MyAnna Buring, known for roles in Unforgotten and The Witcher, leads the cast of Netflix's latest true crime series The Fall: Skydive Murder Plot. The series, now streaming on Netflix, Disney+, and Channel 4, tells the extraordinary story of Victoria Cilliers, who survived a 4,000-ft fall after both her parachutes failed. Police later found evidence that her husband, Emile Cilliers, was responsible and had attempted to end her life once before.
A Unique True Crime Format
The series combines documentary-style interviews with dramatic reconstructions, a format rarely seen in true crime. In these recreations, actors play key roles, often appearing alongside their real-life counterparts. For instance, two police detectives who investigated the case appear in the series, watching their counterparts act out scenes.
