Overview

  • The series is now streaming as a four-episode release on Amazon Prime Video and MGM+, launching January 18, 2026.
  • Filmmakers secured prison interviews with Kenneth Bianchi; Angelo Buono was unavailable because he died in custody in 2002.
  • The cousins kidnapped, sexually assaulted and strangled at least 10 women in Los Angeles in 1977–78, often posing as undercover police and dumping bodies on hillsides.
  • Bianchi was arrested in Bellingham in 1979, confessed under hypnosis, failed a multiple-personality claim, pleaded guilty, and testified against Buono, who was convicted and sentenced to life without parole.
  • Bianchi remains imprisoned in Washington after a parole denial in July 2025, with his next eligibility reported for 2035, and outlets report he changed his name to Anthony D’Amato.
