ATLANTA, Oct. 24, 2024 ~ Court TV's newest original series, "Interview With a Killer," has made a powerful debut on Sunday, October 20. Despite facing tough competition from high-profile sports programming such as Sunday Night Football, the National League Championship Series, and WNBA Finals, the show has managed to capture the attention of viewers and become the network's most-watched original series debut.

The show, which airs at 8:00 p.m. ET on Sundays, takes viewers inside the minds of some of the most notorious convicted killers in the country. Award-winning investigative reporter David Scott sits down with these murderers in face-to-face interviews, delving deep into their psyches and confronting them about their heinous crimes.

Ethan Nelson, head of Court TV, and Emmy-award winning producer Zach Toombs serve as executive producers for "Interview With a Killer." The show has already received critical acclaim for its gripping storytelling and compelling interviews.

The premiere episode featured Yaser Said, who was convicted of murdering his two teenage daughters in what was dubbed an "honor killing." Said spoke publicly for the first time about the night he fatally shot his daughters and how he managed to evade capture for over a decade.

Upcoming episodes will feature other chilling cases such as "Catfishing for Murder," where Denali Brehmer reveals her involvement in a murder plot orchestrated by a man she met online; "The Blackout Killer," where Bo Pete Jeffrey claims no memory of brutally beating and murdering his wife; and "Teenage Rage," where Tyler Hadley describes how he bludgeoned his parents to death at just 17 years old.

Scott is no stranger to hard-hitting journalism. With over three decades of experience as an investigative reporter, he has received numerous industry awards including a Peabody Award, two Columbia DuPont Batons, and 14 Emmy Awards. In "Interview With a Killer," Scott brings his direct interviewing technique to convicted killers, resulting in chilling and revealing conversations.

The success of "Interview With a Killer" adds to Court TV's already impressive fall lineup, which includes the new series "VPI: Vinnie Politan Investigates" hosted by popular Court TV lead anchor Vinnie Politan, and the second season of "Victim to Verdict with Ted Rowlands." The network also continues to cover high-profile cases that dominate headlines, such as the ongoing trial of Sarah Boone, who is accused of zipping her boyfriend into a suitcase and leaving him to die.

According to Nielsen ratings, the initial telecasts of "Interview With a Killer" saw a 50% increase in viewership among Persons 2+ and a 60% increase among P25-54 compared to the network's previous most-watched original series debut, "Someone They Knew with Tamron Hall," which aired on March 6, 2022. These ratings are even more impressive considering that Court TV only began being Nielsen rated in the fourth quarter of 2021.
