PARAMOUNT+ REVEALS ORIGINAL, RIVETING DOCUSERIES "PD TRUE" TO PREMIERE ON AUGUST 6
Ten Episode Series from See It Now Studios
Will Be Available to Stream Exclusively on Paramount+
July 25, 2024 - Paramount+ today announced the new docuseries PD TRUE will premiere with 10 episodes exclusively on the service in the US on Tuesday, August 6. The gripping half-hour series takes viewers into moments of crisis in some of the biggest cases of our time as told by the police offers who worked them.
Developed by See It Now Studios, the team behind the Paramount+ hits FBI TRUE and NEVER SEEN AGAIN, PD TRUE features real, raw, and unfiltered stories shared between the men and women officers who worked shoulder-to-shoulder to solve shocking and even unthinkable crimes. In each episode they recount serial killings, mass shootings, crimes of passion and revenge, and more. Viewers may have seen the headlines and know the basics, but they've never heard them from the cops themselves, who had to sift through horrific crime scenes or carry out risky undercover assignments. What got them through, they say, is never quitting on the mission and their dogged determination to see justice done.
Each half-hour edition of PD TRUE is built around intimate interviews with the lead officers on each case. They share their strategies, and are candid about the emotions they felt, and sometimes still feel for the victims. Complementing their stories is a trove of exclusive video which is woven with never-before-seen evidence that gives a moment-by-moment feel for how the case unfolded.
Season one features a blow-by-blow of the police response to the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando; a terrifying subway shooting in New York City; an LA gunfight with bank robbers that turned a city street into a war zone; a bumbling mob hit on a "wise guy" in the Bronx; the ruthless murder of a stunning Playboy model; and the hunt for Aileen Wuornos, America's best known female serial killer whose victims were middle-aged men.
PD TRUE is produced by Efran Films Canada for See It Now Studios. For Efran Films Canada, Shawn Efran, Craig Turk and Azadeh De Leon are the executive producers. Mary Bissell is an executive producer and showrunner. Susan Zirinsky and Terence Wrong are the executive producers, and Aysu Saliba and Cara Tortora are supervising producers for See It Now Studios.
