Murdaugh Series #1 on Hulu + Premium Murdaugh Series Content

Happy Sunday!

This week marked a surreal and deeply meaningful milestone — the premiere of Murdaugh: Death in the Family AND the Murdaugh: Death in the Family Official Podcast on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

When we started the Murdaugh Murders Podcast from my parent’s kitchen table, I never imagined our reporting would one day inspire a scripted series that brings truth, accountability, and empathy to such a complex story. To see world-class talent like Patricia Arquette, Jason Clarke, Brittany Snow and Alicia Kelley breathe life into their characters is both humbling and emotional.

But here’s the thing: this show — and everything that’s come from it — wouldn’t exist without YOU. Our Premium community believed in us… who supported independent journalism when powerful people tried to silence it. You made it possible for me, Liz, David, and our team to keep shining sunlight in dark places.

As we celebrate this moment, we’re also looking ahead.

This week, we launched something truly special — a series that brings to life years of relentless reporting, emotional truth, and the stories of real victims who deserve to be remembered.

The Murdaugh: Death in the Family Official Podcast is a bridge between truth and art, justice and storytelling.

Seeing the series premiere on Hulu has been surreal, but the podcast companion is where we get to dig even deeper — with behind-the-scenes conversations with the cast, creators, and the people who lived this story.  We can’t share more than the first episode on Premium, but you can watch each video episode on Hulu, Disney+ or YouTube.  An those extended audio episodes are so rich and full of additional voices you’ll recognize like Sandy Smith, Eric Bland, Mark Tinsley and others.  

If you’ve listened and believe in what we’re doing — you can make a huge difference right now.

Please take a moment to:
1️⃣ Follow the Murdaugh: Death in the Family Official Podcast on Apple or wherever you listen. For Apple, just go to hulumurdaughpod.com/ and follow the show.

2️⃣ Leave a 5-star review — it helps new listeners find us and supports independent storytelling that puts victims first.

3️⃣ Share the podcast with a friend who’s watching the Hulu series — every listen helps keep sunlight shining on truth and accountability.

AND we have so much more to share with our LUNASHARK Premium!! Read below for what Kate, Beth, Sam, Shannon, Jamie and the whole team have been cooking up for Soak Up The Sun Members!

Your support has carried us from a living room mic to this incredible moment. Let’s keep pushing for justice — together.
