Press Play: Looking for a new true crime documentary? Here’s what’s trending

True crime documentaries remain one of the most popular genres, especially on Netflix. I’m always noticing one or two titles making the global top 10 list.

Here is a list of the new true crime documentaries you can indulge in this weekend:

Trust Me: The False Prophet

Trust Me: The False Prophet is dominating Netflix Canada, taking the No. 1 spot in the TV show category.

This four-episode series follows cult psychology expert Christine Marie and her husband, Tolga Katas, who also happens to be her videographer. They move to Short Creek, Utah, for one thing: to help a community that may be in grave danger. When the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) loses its prophet, Warren Jeffs, followers are left in desperate need of guidance. Samuel Bateman enters the picture as a self-proclaimed prophet, and the situation quickly takes a turn for the worse.

The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson

This 97-minute documentary explores the life of cyclist Moriah Wilson, whose life was cut short in a tragic murder. It’s currently sitting at No. 2 on Netflix’s Top 10 movies in Canada.

This film “tells the story of loss, love, and the ways that grief can reshape our lives, while also revealing moments of resilience and transformation — even in the darkest of times,” according to Netflix Tudum.

The Predator of Seville

Currently at No. 7 on Netflix Canada, this documentary series focuses on the stories of families who sent their daughters abroad and how that decision changed their lives forever.

Homicide: New York

The second season of Homicide: New York has recently been added to Netflix.

Each episode follows a different story where Homicide detectives work to solve some of the city’s most grueling cases.

The TikTok Killer

The TikTok Killer is a limited series, consisting of just two episodes.

This case trails back to Esther Estepa, who goes missing after spending her last days with a travel influencer.
