Investigation Discovery (DStv 252 / TopTV 303) will be rolling out a vast number of brand-new shows over the coming year, and has also renewed several existing shows for further seasons.
New shows on ID: Investigation Discovery will include Evil Twins following true-crime mysteries surrounding real-life cases of these evil archetypes. Each episode will reveal shocking stories of twins on the edge, from sleeping with their sibling's husband then setting them up for murder to stealing their identity and even coming back from the dead.
In the new Redrum (Murder spelled backwards - get it?) viewers follow the backwards tale of murder from false motives and mistaken witnesses to conversations taken completely out of context, until the truth finally comes out at the very end.
Susan Lucci is the presenter of Deadly Affairs looking at crimes of passion. Frenemies: BFF's Gone Bad will tackle riveting stories of loyalty betrayed and when friendships fall apart. Each episode traces friendships through good times to their gradual demise, as things turn sour and end in shocking, violent confrontation.
Wives with Knives are about women who fight at close range. Some women endured years of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse before fighting back. Others were motivated by greed and jealousy. Some of the victims died and others lived to testify against their attackers.
Pretty Bad Girls shows what happens when beautiful, fabulous women have more than killer clothes in their closets. They have skeletons, too. These sexy criminals know exactly what they want, and are willing to do anything to get it, no matter the cost.
Cold Case reinvestigates unsolved homicides. Each episode invites viewers on an emotional journey between past and present as unsolved homicides are reopened.
Who The Bleep ... is a spin-off from Who The Bleep Did I Marry? It explores the relationships between friends, co-workers, significant others, family members, and more. Each real-life story is a first-person account that uncovers the truth behind people's double lives and the fallout that ensues.
Renewed for further seasons are Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets, Sins & Secrets (crimes that have ripped at the fabric of affluent communities), Unusual Suspects (baffling and challenging cases in contemporary law enforcement), Scorned: Love Kills (crimes of passion sparked by a spurned lover), Stalked: Someone's Watching (emotional stories of stalking victims) and Dark Minds (crime author M. William Phelps and criminal profiler John Kelly revisit unsolved homicides believed to be the work of serial killers).
Also renewed on ID: Investigation Discovery for further seasons are Disappeared (unpredictable twists of missing person cases) and Deadly Sins (individuals pushed beyond the limits of the law), with attorney Darren Kavinoky.
Fatal Encounters looks at the fateful relationship between killer and victim as their paths intertwine. In Facing Evil the retired FBI criminal profiler Candice DeLong goes behind prison walls to sit down with the actual femmes fatales who appeared on Deadly Women.
Cold Blood returns to the crime scene so that viewers can examine all the evidence for themselves. Also renewed are Devil You Know (the secret lives of men and women who masquerade as law-abiding citizens but, behind the charade, are hiding deadly intentions from their loved ones), Alaska: Ice Cold Killers (about victims of violent crimes, struggling to survive against the brutality of nature and man) and Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda in which he retells through dramatic enactment cases he's dealt with.
Nightmare Next Door (murder mysteries), True Crime with Aphrodite Jones (crime expert Aphrodite Jones conducting her own investigations) and Deadly Women (the bizarre world of women who kill for thrills) will all have a further season on ID: Investigation Discovery.
Behind Mansion Walls (sensational stories of mystery and murder with society journalist Christopher Mason), Very Bad Men (true crime series) and Twisted (some of the world's most prolific serial killers) will also be back.
