Murdaugh Murders, filmmakers Jenner Furst and Julia Willoughby Nason, are well acquainted with . Their Emmy-nominated Hulu docuseries Fyre Fraud dug into the fraudulent 2017 music festival, and 2021’s LulaRich took viewers inside an alleged billion-dollar pyramid scheme.

In a phone call with Vanity Fair—which took them briefly away from Court TV’s coverage of Murdaugh’s double murder trial—the filmmakers recalled how they began making Murdaugh Murders in the fall of 2021.

It had been several months since Alex phoned 911 to report that his wife Maggie and son Paul had been brutally murdered—the murders for which Alex is currently standing trial. (Alex has maintained his innocence in the killing of his wife and son.) The killings happened shortly after Alex was  of his family law firm after they claimed he misused millions of dollars. (Alex’s lawyer  a large portion of the money was used to pay for painkillers.) It was also shortly after Alex was allegedly shot in the head by a former client. (The man has denied shooting him.) Alex admitted to him so his son could collect an insurance policy. (Murdaugh apologized to his family and friends, and entered a drug program.)“Things were at peak insanity,” recalls Furst, explaining that he and Nason had no intention of trying to chase the “absurd” and relentless news cycle.
