“20/20: ‘The Salem Strangler’” Coming Soon To ABC, Hulu & Disney+

Disney has announced details on the return of the award-winning documentary series, “20/20”, which is co-hosted by David Muir and Deborah Roberts.

The season premiere of “20/20” features co-anchor Deborah Roberts’ reporting on the murder of college student Claire Gravel, who was found strangled off the side of the road just six miles from her apartment in Salem, Massachusetts. For years, there were no arrests, and even though new evidence was uncovered, the case eventually went cold. That is until 2007, when a mother living in a nearby town was attacked in an eerily similar way to Gravel. As detectives zero in on a suspect, this investigation breathes new life into Gravel’s murder case. Roberts goes inside the case and interviews Gravel’s family, the victim who survived the 2007 attack, as well as law enforcement officials who helped solve the murder in “The Salem Strangler“.

To go along with the latest episode of “20/20”, there is a companion podcast that offers a behind-the-scenes look at the stories from each week’s “20/20” broadcast. Hosted by co-anchor Deborah Roberts and produced in partnership with The ABC News Podcast Network, the podcast offers an exclusive, inside look at the lucky breaks and strange-but-true moments in each “20/20” episode, plus interviews with those featured on-air and those involved in reporting and producing the show. Now in its second season, new episodes of “20/20: The After Show” post weekly on Mondays on a variety of different podcast platforms. 

The new episode of “20/20” is coming to ABC on Friday, 25th September 2026 at 9:00-11:00 p.m. EDT and it will be available to stream the next day on Disney+ and Hulu in the United States.
