TV show description:
Inspired by the book, One Day She’ll Darken: The Mysterious Beginnings of Fauna Hodel (by Hodel), the I Am the Night TV show is a limited series which explores an adoptee’s connection to the murder of Elizabeth Short, i.e. the “Black Dahlia” slaying.
As an innocent teenaged girl growing up in the Reno, Nevada area, Fauna Hodel (Eisley) knew she had been given away at birth. She also knew there were secrets surrounding her early life, but was at ease with it, until she made a discovery that made her realize she had to question everything.
While digging into her origins, Fauna encounters Jay Singletary (Pine), a reporter who was ruined by a case that still haunts him. Together, Fauna and Jay follow the trail of evidence that seems to lead them right to Dr. George Hodel (Mays), a Los Angeles gynecologist.
A former child prodigy, Dr. Hodel grew into a brilliant physician, with a taste for Hollywood debauchery. Once he was connected to a big scandal though, his famous friends disappeared. Now Fauna and Jay need to figure out his connection to a notorious unsolved crime.
Series Finale:
Episode #6 — Queen’s Gambit, Accepted
When Fauna (India Eisley) hears what happened to Jimmy Lee (Golden Brooks), she frantically searches for a way home. As Watts explodes around her into chaotic riots, Fauna’s way out harbors a nightmarish trap. Jay (Chris Pine) stews in a cell that overflows with rioters, his options diminishing as the hours pass, until he hatches a desperate plan.
First aired: March 4, 2019.

I absolutely Love this series!
I got addicted and do want to see the show renewed.
Gotta see the FINALE !!! When ? Thank You !
I LOVE the show!!
This show is great, the scary stories that come from real stories always have that element. Dr.Hodel was some true evil thank goodness Fauna gets away we assume.
Keep it coming. Love the series.
I am so hooked on this show. It’s a quite a good mystery in the type of genre I love. It’s like a film noir. Please keep this show going.
I was intrigued by the promos before the first episode aired. The premiere didn’t disappoint! I am hooked, just finished watching the third episode and it keeps getting better. I hope the series continues past the original six shows scheduled. India Eisley and Chris Pine are excellent!
I am loving this series. Big fan of true life stories brought to TV. I can remember the Black Dahlia, but nothing of a Dr Hode. Hope it stays on the air.
So far, so good. Enjoyed the episodes. Will like the show to continue.
This show has got my attention and I would like to see it continue
I am hooked and intrigued by the premiere episode!
I’m old enough to remember hearing about the Black Dahlia case and this addition to the Hodel connection makes it all the more interesting AND chilling!
Watched the sneak preview tonight, which is the same as the premier on Monday night and it was very good. Should be a very good series.
