Behind the Crime Limited Series From Dan Abrams Set at Tubi, First Episode Focused on Ni

Fox’s Tubi and Dan Abrams‘ Law&Crime have teamed up on a true-crime series, “Behind the Crime.” The limited series will launch Sept. 20 with an episode about the 2019 murder of rapper Nipsey Hussle.

Per the show’s logline, “Behind the Crime” “dives deep into the inner workings of the justice system with gripping cases that give viewers unfiltered access with real case footage.” Each installment “examines the crime from the investigation, to the trial, and ultimately, the verdict as told from the intimate perspective of those closest to the case– the legal teams, jurors, and law enforcement, as well as the family and friends of the victims and the defendants.”
