Murder Suspect No.1, the true crime series that has drawn comparisons to 24 Hours in Police Custody, returned to Channel 5 this week with a brutal new episode that left viewers feeling sick.
The show, which first aired in 2025, follows top homicide teams as violent murder investigations unfold, placing viewers inside police forces as detectives work against the clock for justice.
New Episode Details
On Monday, November 2, the second episode of Series 2 aired on Channel 5 at 9pm, exploring one man's harrowing confession and a challenging murder investigation. Channel 5 teased the episode: "A man walking along the hard shoulder of the M40 confesses to murder; police discover a woman dead at her home in Havant; and detectives must prove what happened when their suspect refuses to talk."
The new instalment came after a lengthy wait for viewers, as the last new episode was released earlier in the year. However, Murder Suspect No.1 is not on the television schedules next week, and it is not yet known when a new episode will air.
How to Stream Every Episode
There are currently seven episodes of Murder Suspect No.1 that have been released since it first hit screens last year. Every episode can be streamed online for free on Channel 5 online.
