LONDON, U.K. (3 December) – Disney+ has today announced the latest addition to their ambitious UK slate and marks its first foray into true-crime, ‘The Devil in my DMs’. The four-part Hulu Original Series for Disney+ will explore the dark intersection of social media and crime, following four distinctive stories where an online interaction becomes the breeding ground for shocking real-life crime.
“The Devil in my DMs” is produced by Lightbox, the production company founded by two-time Academy Award-winner Simon Chinn and Emmy Award-winner Jonathan Chinn, which is behind Disney+ Original series “Camden” and the Critic’s Choice award-winning National Geographic documentary “Hurricane Katrina: The Race Against Time”.
“The Devil in my DMs” has been commissioned by Sean Doyle, executive director of Unscripted, Disney+. The executive producers are Suzanne Lavery (‘Sophie: A Murder in West Cork’, ‘The Diamond Heist’), Simon Chinn (‘Man on Wire’, ‘Searching for Sugar Man’), and Jonathan Chinn (‘LA92’, ‘TINA’), with Toby Trackman (‘Camden’) serving as lead director.
Disney+ is available from £5.99 per month - with no hidden costs and the ability to cancel anytime. There's something for everyone to watch, with a lifetime of great stories and a constantly growing library of new TV shows, blockbuster movies, exclusive Originals, and live football throughout the year. From Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Hulu, Disney+ spans everything from documentaries to critically acclaimed drama, comedy to classic animation, and general entertainment. Customers can enjoy titles like FX's acclaimed sci-fi drama "Alien: Earth", season five of the award-winning comedy series "Only Murders in the Building", the second season of "High Potential", Disney's box office smash "Lilo & Stitch", 20th Century Studios' "Swiped", and Original Documentary series "Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth".
