“Murdaugh: Death In The Family” Companion Podcast Coming To Hulu & Disney+

Last month, Disney announced its slate of upcoming companion podcasts for some of its original programming, and one of those shows getting a spin-off is “Murdaugh: Death in the Family”, which is inspired by true events and hosted by the original “Murdaugh Murders” podcast creators, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell.

The series tells the story of Maggie and Alex, who enjoy a lavish life of privilege as members of one of South Carolina’s most powerful legal dynasties. But when their son Paul is involved in a deadly boat crash, the family is faced with a test unlike any they’ve ever encountered. As details come to light and new challenges emerge, the family’s connections to several mysterious deaths raise questions which threaten everything Maggie and Alex hold dear.

“Murdaugh: Death in the Family” stars Jason Clarke as Alex Murdaugh, Patricia Arquette as Maggie Murdaugh, Johnny Berchtold as Paul Murdaugh, Will Harrison as Buster Murdaugh, Brittany Snow as Mandy Matney, J. Smith-Cameron as Marian Proctor.

The companion podcast is hosted by Mandy Matney, and she interviews creatives and cast alike and takes fans on a deeper dive into the storyline, the characters, exclusive behind-the-scenes details, and the shocking events that inspired the series.

A trailer for the companion podcast has also been released:

“Murdaugh: Death in the Family” hails from co-creator and showrunner Michael D.
