What a terrific year 2026 has been for true crime, and not just on Netflix, which has become the de facto hub for the genre. HBO Max released a surprise follow-up chapter in The Yogurt Shop Murders, and more recently debuted the first episode of Bring Me the Beauties: A Model Cult, which holds a rare 100% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. Peacock, on the other hand, delivered The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets. However, Netflix remains the undisputed champion of the true crime genre, for better or worse. The streamer has already had more than half a dozen hits this year, with The Crash — a feature-length examination of horrific events from 2022 — emerging as something of a sensation with more than 50 million views in three weeks.
