The first trailer for the HBO docuseries is here. 

The premium cabler has unveiled its I’ll Be Gone In the Dark trailer. The true-crime docuseries is a television adaptation of Michelle McNamara’s acclaimed book about the Golden State Killer.

The upcoming adaptation of McNamara’s years-long investigation for the Golden State killer is based on the late author’s book, titled I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer

The six-part series delves deep into McNamara’s obsession putting a name to a Northern California serial killer and rapist in the ’70s and ‘80s. Per HBO, the series will also give a voice “to the survivors and their families, documenting an era when sex crimes were often dismissed or hidden in shame. A timely inquiry into our macabre preoccupation with true crime and a cautionary tale of the dangerous lure of addiction, the series is a riveting meditation on obsession and loss, chronicling the unrelenting path of a mysterious killer and the fierce determination of one woman to bring the case to light.”

I’ll Be Gone in the Dark is set to debut June 28.

The Crown and The Favourite star has been cast in the lead in HBO and Sky’s forthcoming crime series Landscapers. 

The Oscar-winning actress is set to portray convicted killer Susan in the four-part limited series inspired by real events. The role of Christopher Edwards is yet to be cast. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the drama will question how the devoted and mild-mannered couple came to kill Susan’s parents in 1998 and bury them in the back garden of their home in Nottingham, England, in a crime that remained undiscovered for over a decade before their convictions and jailing in 2014.

Alexander Payne will direct from a script by Ed Sinclair, whose TV screenplay is based on hours of interviews with the real-life figures who have always maintained their innocence, per HBO.

“I love Ed’s scripts, which is just as well as he cooks many of my meals. No, the truth is it’s quite rare to be desperate to play a part on the first reading of a script, but that was the case here,” Colman said in a statement. 

Colman is currently one season into her gig as Queen Elizabeth II on Netflix’s The Crown.
