by Jessica Pena, December 13, 2017

The Vanishing Women TV show on Investigation Discovery: season 1 (canceled or renewed?)

Another tale of crime is coming to Investigation Discovery. Recently, the network announced author James Patterson’s new TV show, Murder is Forever, will premiere in January.

The anthology drama “presents a unique murder mystery that keeps viewers guessing until the very end – but perhaps the most shocking thing of all, is that these stunning crimes are 100% real. Each self-contained story will live both on-screen and within the pages of Patterson’s true crime paperback titles, which correspond to each episode, will be published beginning January 2, 2018 and available everywhere books are sold.”

Murder is Forever premieres on Investigation Discovery on January 22nd at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

(Silver Spring, Md.) – Sinister thoughts, deepening resentment and manipulative mind games are temporary – but MURDER IS FOREVER. Investigation Discovery today announced the premiere date for MURDER IS FOREVER, an all-new dramatic series created in partnership with bestselling author James Patterson and the Emmy-winning producers at Stephen David Entertainment. MURDER IS FOREVER – Patterson’s first foray into true-crime television, based upon the authentic stories featured in his upcoming paperback books – is set to debut on ID on Monday, January 22 at 10/9c.

“You can’t make up the astonishingly twisted tales featured in MURDER IS FOREVER – even with James Patterson, the greatest storyteller of our time, at the helm,” said Henry Schleiff, Group President, Investigation Discovery, American Heroes Channel and Destination America. “The combination of best-selling author, Patterson, and ID, America’s most-watched true-crime network, produces a uniquely irresistible offering for both of our passionate readers and viewers, who will no doubt agree that truth is stranger than fiction.”

James Patterson said, “My goal for both the books and television show was to create a groundbreaking series that shatters the true crime mold and attracts the widest possible audience. These stories won’t disappoint readers or viewers – and they’ll be shocked that they actually happened.”

Each hour-long episode of MURDER IS FOREVER presents a unique murder mystery that keeps viewers guessing until the very end – but perhaps the most shocking thing of all, is that these stunning crimes are 100% real. Each self-contained story will live both on-screen and within the pages of Patterson’s true crime paperback titles, which correspond to each episode, will be published beginning January 2, 2018 and available everywhere books are sold.

The premiere episode of MURDER IS FOREVER features the story of Frank and Nancy Howard, a devoted, church-going couple who were pillars of their Carrollton, Texas community. But in the summer of 2009, a hit man showed up at their door, forever changing their lives. As investigators track down leads, an intricate murder plot is revealed – stretching back more than two years, involving more than a dozen people and over $3 million.

Additional episodes of MURDER AS FOREVER are as follows:

Mother of All Murders – Premieres Monday, January 29 at 10/9c

Young Gypsy Blanchard was chronically sick, but she remained remarkably positive thanks to the doting care of her mother, DeeDee. Together, they captured the hearts and prayers of everyone they met – and when one of them is found dead, a community is left in shock as police struggle to find answers.

Home Sweet Murder – Premieres Monday, February 5 at 10/9c

Leo Fisher and Sue Duncan were a happily married couple living in McLean, Virgina. But one quiet November evening, while they’re preparing dinner, the doorbell rings – and their world changes forever. Held hostage and mercilessly interrogated, it becomes clear that the invader is working with an accomplice – and they’re not leaving until they get what they want.

Murder on the Run – Premieres Monday, February 12 at 10/9c

Detective Derek Mois, a veteran with Omaha Police Department, responds to a horrific double homicide involving an 11-year-old boy and the family’s housekeeper. With the community on edge and police racing against the clock to make a capture, another murder takes place on the other side of town. Are the two crimes connected? And can police make an arrest before the killer strikes again?

Murder Beyond the Grave – Premieres Monday, February 19 at 10/9c

The small town of Kankakee, Illinois is about an hour’s drive south of Chicago, and is well-known as a quiet summer retreat. But nearly 30 years ago, this idyllic community was rocked by a kidnapping and ransom scheme that targeted one of its most beloved citizens – shocking the town, and the nation.

Murder in Paradise – Premieres Monday, February 26 at 10/9c

Bonnie and Jim Hood, a wealthy couple from Newport Beach, California, thought they had found the perfect passion project when they purchased a resort lodge in the Sierra Nevada mountains. But while renovating the lodge, Bonnie upsets area locals who want the property to remain unchanged. As tensions escalate, violence erupts – leading to two homicides. But is it as simple as it seems? Or will authorities be pushed to their limits to solve this case?

MURDER IS FOREVER is produced for Investigation Discovery by Stephen David Entertainment, with James Patterson, Stephen David, Tim W. Kelly, Bill Robinson, Leopoldo Gout and Elizabeth Devine as executive producers. For Investigation Discovery, Thomas Cutler is senior executive producer, Sara Kozak is senior vice president of production, Kevin Bennett is general manager, and Henry Schleiff is Group President.”

I love this show. It reminds of Alfred Hitchcock. The stories are riveting and so very suspenseful . Thank you so much for James Patterson TV version.

The books are not worth the postage it takes to mail them, even if mailing was free. And paper is horribly cheap.

Poorly written and full of made up conversations, follows only plot of this show and nothing more.

No real facts stated for most part and doesn’t follow through the court hearing and sentencing. Nor is anything in the lives of killer and victim prior to the crime written about.

God I really miss Ann Rule.

Another remake of same case shown over and over. This is a “New” show? Copy previous shows material?? With all the cases in the world you think they could actually make a show with new material. 3rd show in a row that is just a copy. There won’t be a 4 th for me. Not like I watch the first 3 more than 5 minutes.
