Oxygen is setting up its programming for this summer and next season. The cable channel has renewed nine existing true-crime shows for new seasons. They are Cold Justice, 911 Crisis Center, Living with a Serial Killer, Floribama Murders, Killer Relationship with Faith Jenkins, New York Homicide, The Real Murders of Atlanta, The Real Murders of Orange County, and Accident, Suicide or Murder.
In addition, the cable channel has ordered five new shows — Manifesto of a Serial Killer, The First Mindhunter, Black Widow Murders, Serial Killer Capital: Baton Rouge, and Sleeping with Death.
Oxygen revealed more about the new arrivals and returning shows in a press release.
“Oxygen, the home of high-quality true-crime programming, is bolstering its slate with several new shows, including “Black Widow Murders,” featuring stories of women luring victims into grisly deaths for wealth, lust and power; “Manifesto of a Serial Killer,” in which one heartbroken woman’s search for her missing brother unravels a disturbing tale of homicides and abuse; and “Sleeping with Death,” the dramatic and twisted tales of murders committed while a partner, lover, friend or family member sleeps nearby – or even right next to – the victim.
Following the summer 2022 premiere of “Living with a Serial Killer” season two, Oxygen’s fall lineup will feature multiple returning shows. These include new episodes of Dick Wolf’s “Cold Justice,” in which prosecutor Kelly Siegler and her team of detectives investigate unsolved homicides in small towns, and season two of “911 Crisis Center,” which immerses viewers in the high-stakes world of a Cleveland-area emergency call center. In addition, “Floribama Murders” returns for its second season and “Accident, Suicide or Murder” returns for season four.
Returning for season two in 2023 are “The Real Murders of Atlanta,” portraying unbelievable homicide cases of gentrified Southern dynasties, hip-hop hustlers and the flashy nouveau riche in the metropolitan mecca, “Killer Relationship with Faith Jenkins,” investigating complex relationships from their sweet beginnings all the way through to their bitter endings; and “New York Homicide,” in which NYPD Retired Chief of Detectives Robert K. Boyce dives deep into some of the worst murders in the city’s recent history. Season three of “The Real Murders of Orange County,” which delves into the most horrific, sinful and salacious cases that rocked Southern California’s coastal community, also returns in 2023.
Oxygen is on pace to rank as the #1 cable network in length-of-tune for the third consecutive year, outpacing its next competitor by more than 40%. In addition, Oxygen is this year’s second-fastest-growing top-30 cable entertainment network among total viewers.

Or was there a mysterious visitor in the middle of the night? With access to lead investigators, key witnesses and those closest to the victim, the series will uncover the secrets and truth behind each twisted murder.
