Bruce Fletcher from Sky will contribute a commissioning perspective to the discussion, illustrating Sky’s commitment to high-quality true crime content.
The session will provide an insider’s view on what elevates a true crime series to compelling viewing, what pushes it into the realm of sensationalism, and why these distinctions are increasingly crucial. As this genre continues to expand, the panel will also examine the dynamics of power between storytellers, networks, and viewers.
