TV One Unveils New True Crime Franchise at CrimeCon: Fatal Attraction – I’d Kill to Be You
When it comes to true crime, few networks have mastered the art of storytelling through a lens of authenticity quite like TV One. And last Friday at CrimeCon, the network gave attendees a gripping first look at its latest series, Fatal Attraction: I’d Kill to Be You. The exclusive tease was paired with a thought-provoking breakout session that left the packed room buzzing.
A Panel That Went Beyond the Headlines
Moderated by award-winning journalist Mara S. Campo, the hour-long conversation assembled a powerhouse lineup: Hot Bench judge and former prosecutor Yodit Tewolde, retired Vallejo investigations commander Richard “Rick” Nichelman, and TV One executive producer Allison Simmons. Together, they walked the audience through a case from the show’s chilling premiere episode — a woman brutally murdered and her newborn kidnapped in a scenario that took even seasoned investigators by surprise.
The panelists explored the story from every angle: investigative strategies, the psychology behind the perpetrator, and the intimate process of producers connecting with victims’ families to tell their truths with care and dignity.
Shining Light on Untold Stories
What set this session apart was its commitment to highlighting underrepresented cases — the kinds of stories that too often go untold in mainstream media. By centering Black voices and experiences in the true crime genre, TV One is carving out space for narratives that deserve attention. As Simmons noted, the franchise isn’t just about shocking crimes; it’s about justice, representation, and respect for the communities most affected.
Fatal Attraction Evolves
Fatal Attraction: I’d Kill to Be You builds on TV One’s already popular true crime brand, offering viewers not just suspenseful storytelling but deeper context and cultural perspective. For fans of the genre, it’s the kind of programming that doesn’t just keep you on the edge of your seat — it keeps you thinking long after the credits roll.
With the buzz from CrimeCon still fresh, it’s clear that TV One has tapped into a powerful formula: gripping cases, thoughtful analysis, and a commitment to bringing marginalized stories to the forefront.
