Nat Geo 3-part doc series that premieres in full August 28 from 8-11pm ET and streams the next day on Hulu

Produced by The New Yorker Studios and Left/Right and based on Lauren Collins's 2022 New Yorker exposé "Murder, He Wrote," KILLER LIES: CHASING A TRUE CRIME CON MAN expands on Collins's investigation into the rise and fall of a provocative French serial killer expert, Stéphane Bourgoin, who became famous for his extraordinary resume of jailhouse interviews with serial killers as well as his personality quirks, and his morbid encounters. Bourgoin cited the violent and horrifying 1976 slaying of his wife by a serial killer as motivation for his relentless interest in the minds of murderers. After 40 years and 40 books, he becomes the target of a group of online sleuths, known as 4ème Oeil Corporation (4th Eye), who try to untangle his web of lies and unearth the truth.
