Murder, fraud and sex tapes: Why Hulu and other streamers are cashing in on true crime [Los Angeles Times :: BC-VID-HULU-TRUECRIME:LA]
The sordid tale was covered in the 2014 book “Deadly Dance: The Chippendales Murders,” and helped inspire a Hulu series, “Welcome to Chippendales,” which launched this week and stars Marvel actor Kumail Nanjiani. It’s one of nearly half a dozen Hulu limited series launched this year that are based on real-life true-crime stories ripped from the headlines. The limited series delved into the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard, based on a BuzzFeed article by writer Michelle Dean. Three of the top 10 Hulu Originals shows this year were related to real-life true-crime stories, based on U.S. consumer demand online, according to Parrot Analytics.
