Murder 24/7 returns to BBC Two in June 2025…
The forthcoming series has been filmed with West Mercia Police in the Midlands. The programme follows murder investigations from multiple perspectives in real time. Every decision and every lead, minute by minute, from the critical first few days right through to arrest and conviction.
Clare Sillery, Head of Commissioning, Documentaries:
“I’m pleased that Murder 24/7 is returning to BBC Two and iPlayer. The first series was the highest rated new Factual series in 2020 for young audiences and I hope viewers will once again find a fascination in the complex and specialist work of the dedicated teams solving the cases and bringing justice to victims.”
The new series will follow a number of different murder cases, including: when a delivery driver is ambushed and beaten to death in broad daylight, detectives begin a major manhunt to track down his killers; a mother and daughter are found with serious stab wounds; and in Telford, after a man attacks and kills his mother with a hammer, detectives investigate his behaviour leading up to the attack.
Murder 24/7 will take viewers to the very heart of the police investigation in an unprecedented level of access, capturing the extraordinary stories and emotion that unfolds in all of these cases. No stone is left unturned as the vast team of experts work together to catch the killer, carrying out forensic work at the crime scene, interviewing witnesses, trawling CCTV, analysing mobile phones, executing search warrants, and hunting down suspects.
Executive Producer Colin Barr:
“Like the first series, series 2 of Murder 24/7 witnesses first-hand the extraordinary pace and complexity of a murder investigation and the challenges faced by those whose job is to solve the most serious crime. Through multiple cases and multiple perspectives, I hope viewers are given a powerful lens on the most pressing social issues: gang violence, toxic masculinity, mental health, and addiction.”
Murder 24/7 is a six-part production for BBC Two. It will also stream on the iPlayer.
