Hulu’s Murdaugh: Death in the Family Looks Like the Must-Watch Series of the Fall

If you’re already obsessed with true crime stories and family sagas, you’re going to want to clear some space on your watchlist. Hulu’s Murdaugh: Death in the Family is dropping this fall, and with a powerhouse cast including Patricia Arquette, Jason Clarke, Brittany Snow, and more, it’s set to be the kind of series that keeps you guessing episode after episode.

The show dives into the life of Maggie and Alex Murdaugh, two members of one of South Carolina’s wealthiest and most influential families. Their picture-perfect life spirals out of control after their son’s involvement in a fatal boat crash, opening the door to secrets, scandals, and unexpected twists that threaten to destroy everything they’ve built. Fans of crime podcasts will find familiar territory here, as the series draws inspiration from the widely discussed Murdaugh Murders Podcast.

Arquette and Clarke bring a magnetic depth to their roles, portraying parents trying to keep their family together as dark truths unravel. Supporting turns from actors like Johnny Berchtold, Will Harrison, and J. Smith-Cameron enrich the story, making it as emotionally charged as it is mysterious.

The brains behind the project are just as impressive, with co-creators Michael D. Fuller (Quarry, Locke & Key) and Erin Lee Carr (Britney vs Spears) leading the charge. Executive producers like Nick Antosca (A Friend of the Family) and Alex Hedlund ensure the storytelling remains sharp, while Patricia Arquette and Jason Clarke also serve as producers, adding their creative touch to the unfolding drama.

With its first three episodes premiering October 15 on Hulu and Disney+, followed by weekly releases through November, Murdaugh promises to be appointment viewing. Whether you’re into psychological thrillers, family secrets, or character-driven drama, this series offers all the elements of a must-binge experience.

Prepare for plenty of jaw-dropping moments, complex characters, and that perfect mix of suspense and emotion that keeps you glued to the screen. Fall television just got a lot more intriguing.
