The BBC has confirmed the return of its gripping true crime documentary series, Murder 24/7, which first aired in 2020 on BBC Two. The programme follows detectives and specialists from West Mercia Police as they investigate serious crimes, tracking manhunts minute by minute from the initial 999 call to conviction.
Series three will air on BBC One this summer, featuring cases including a brutal murder, a manhunt in Hereford, and a domestic homicide in Redditch. A trailer shows officers tracking suspects and executing raids armed with a chainsaw.
The series has received critical acclaim, holding an 8.1 rating on IMDb. One viewer described it as 'gripping and shocking,' while another praised the BBC for keeping it 'fact-based without unneeded bells and whistles.' A third fan warned that some images and footage are 'quite disturbing to see.'
Murder 24/7 is available to watch on BBC iPlayer, with series three arriving this summer.
