Overview

• All three episodes are available in the U.K. from October 14 on Sky History, with streaming via History on Amazon Prime’s channel trial and on Sky/Now platforms.
• No release dates have been announced for the United States, Canada or Australia, with viewing guides advising VPN use for U.K. subscribers traveling abroad.
• Presented by Rylan Clark with Professor Alice Roberts, the three-part investigation reopens specific Essex cases from the 16th and 17th centuries using on-location reporting, reconstructions and archival research.
• The production was filmed in Chelmsford with interiors at Shakespeare’s Globe, and the first case revisits the 1566 Hatfield Peverel proceedings.
• Early reviews praise the series’ emotional force and scholarly context from contributors such as Ronald Hutton and Eleanor Janega, while questioning Clark’s levity and some reconstructions.
