#FIRSTLOOK: PRIME VIDEO RELEASE TRAILER FOR “MURDER 101”

Today, Prime Video released the trailer for the upcoming docuseries Murder 101. Based on the successful KT Studios and iHeart Media true crime podcast, the series centers on a high school sociology class and their teacher, who delve into decades-old cold cases and uncover long-buried truths. All three episodes of the series will be available on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on July 13, 2026.

In a quiet Tennessee town, a high school sociology class takes on a mystery that has lingered for decades. Led by teacher Alex Campbell, the students of Elizabethton High School begin investigating the Redhead Murders—a series of unsolved killings that once captured headlines across the South before fading from public memory. What starts as a classroom project soon evolves into a remarkable real-world investigation, as the students uncover new leads, connect long-overlooked clues, and bring fresh attention to victims who were nearly forgotten. Along the way, they discover that the search for answers is about more than solving a case—it’s about giving a voice to the people at the center of it and proving that determination can come from the most unexpected places.

Murder 101 debuted the first episode at Sundance Film Festival as part of the Nonfiction Pilot Showcase earlier this year.

“At its heart, Murder 101 is a story about what happens when someone believes young people are capable of extraordinary things,” said Stacey Lee, Director of Murder 101. “Mr. Campbell didn’t just create a class; he created a space where students could think critically, engage deeply, and contribute to something bigger than themselves. The power of a great teacher isn’t just what they teach you; it’s how they change the way you see yourself. That’s something you can’t find in a textbook.”

Directed by Stacey Lee, Murder 101 is produced by KT Studios and Freshman Year with Jon Watts, Dianne McGunigle and Stephanie Lydecker serving as executive producers.
