**Los Angeles, CA** – Peacock has greenlit a new true crime series focusing on the female victims of Robert Durst, the infamous real estate heir who was convicted of murdering his friend Susan Berman and died in prison awaiting trial for the murder of his ex-wife, Kathleen McCormack.

The series, currently untitled, will be helmed by writer and showrunner Dara Resnik, known for her work on shows like “Home Before Dark” and “The Horror of Dolores Roach.” It will delve into the perspectives of Durst’s victims and the investigators who believed he was a more prolific serial killer than initially understood.

Durst, who was the son of a successful real estate investor, was long suspected of involvement in McCormack’s disappearance in 1982 and Berman’s murder in 2000. While he was never convicted of McCormack’s death, he was found guilty of Berman’s murder in 2021, receiving a life sentence.

The series is expected to offer a nuanced look at the events surrounding these crimes, highlighting the stories of the women who lost their lives and the detectives who pursued justice.

“We are thrilled to bring this captivating true crime story to Peacock,” said [insert name of Peacock executive]. “Dara Resnik’s unique approach and the compelling narratives of the victims and investigators will make this series a must-watch for true crime fans.”

The series is still in early development, and no release date has been announced.
