Hulu Drops Chilling True Crime Series with Patricia Arquette and Jason Clarke as Murdaughs – Watch the Trailer Everyone’s Talking About

Hulu just dropped the trailer for its upcoming true crime limited series Murdaugh Death in the Family, and it's about to blow the lid off one of the most twisted real life sagas in recent memory. With Emmy winner Patricia Arquette as Maggie Murdaugh and the ever intense Jason Clarke as disgraced legal scion Alex Murdaugh, this series is not pulling any punches.

Why the Murdaugh Murders Still Have Us Glued

Unless you've been living under a courtroom bench, the Murdaugh case has been everywhere. From podcasts to documentaries to live trial coverage, the story of a powerful South Carolina family unraveling in spectacular fashion has become a pop culture juggernaut. Hulu’s take? A dramatized dive into the emotional chaos, family secrets, and ultimately, the double homicide that shocked the nation.

This isn't just a rehash of what you've already heard. The show aims to tell the story from the inside out, exploring the twisted psychology behind it all. Think Succession meets Dateline, but with a stronger Southern drawl and a body count.

Patricia Arquette and Jason Clarke Bring the Fire

Let’s get one thing straight. Patricia Arquette is not here to be your passive Southern wife. As Maggie Murdaugh, she delivers a performance that’s as heartbreaking as it is haunting. Jason Clarke, meanwhile, transforms into Alex Murdaugh with a cold fury that’ll make your skin crawl. This is prestige true crime with acting firepower to match.

What to Expect from Hulu’s Murdaugh Death in the Family

Set to premiere October 15 with three back to back episodes, the series will unfold weekly through mid November. Alongside Arquette and Clarke, the cast includes Brittany Snow as true crime podcaster Mandy Matney and Johnny Berchtold as Paul Murdaugh. The show promises to cover not just the murders, but the layers of lies, fraud and good old fashioned corruption that propped up the Murdaugh name for generations.

Watch the Trailer and Buckle Up

If the trailer is any indication, this is going to be one hell of a ride. Creepy voiceovers? Check. Southern Gothic vibes? Absolutely. Scenes that make you say, “Oh no he didn’t”? All over the place.

Final Thoughts: Is This the Must Watch of Fall? Yes. Yes It Is.

Murdaugh Death in the Family looks like the next big thing in true crime TV. With an award winning cast, razor sharp writing and just the right amount of scandalous Southern drama, it’s got all the makings of a hit. Whether you're a true crime junkie or just here for Patricia Arquette being amazing (again), this is one Hulu series you don’t want to miss.

So what are you waiting for? Go watch that trailer and start clearing your schedule for October 15. This drama isn't going to binge itself.
