So much true crime…
More TV shows and documentaries are coming to Virgin Media than ever before, and in the upcoming season and new schedule, there is a whole load of true crime coming our way.
Brand new series The Vanishing Triangle is coming to the channel, co-produced by Virgin Media Television and The Sundance Channel in the US. The six part series is inspired by the events occurring in the 1990s when a number of women in and around Dublin went missing without a trace.
These women have been looked for since but with no clues or evidence, there has been little justice in these cases, and this drama series goes into detail on them.
A Dublin Murder is a two-part series that investigates the murder of 30-year-old, Rachel O’Reilly. The mother of two from Dublin was killed by her husband Joe O’Reilly in the Naul in 2004.
Another true crime series coming to Virgin Media is Six Bullets Fired which will take a look into the death of George Nkencho who was shot by six Gardaí in West Dublin in 2020.
The Fall of Bomber Kavanagh takes a look into the story of Thomas ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh who was jailed for 21 years after his criminal past with the Kinahan gang was uncovered.
Another crime series on the way is a documentary on Graham Dwyer who is serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife Elaine O’Hara.
