As
Murdaugh mania reignites for viewers this fall, FOX Nation, FOX News Media’s subscription-based streaming service, will present a new docuseries,
The Fall of the House of Murdaugh, on Thursday, Aug. 31, announced FOX Nation President Jason Klarman. The series will air earlier than its original mid-September air date due to "increased viewer demand," says the network.
Hosted by Martha MacCallum, the three-part limited series features exclusive access to Alex Murdaugh's surviving son, "Buster," as well as other family members, friends, media and his defense team.
During the series, MacCallum, a FOX News Channel anchor and executive editor of
The Story, conducts the first television interview with "Buster" since his family was thrust into the spotlight back in 2019 and again in 2021.
During the Fox interviews, "Murdaugh Jr."Buster" discussed the basic family dynamic - how his parents never picked favorites, but he also felt closer to his mother - as well as how his family rallied together to support his brother Paul after a
fatal 2019 boat crash that exposed his family to negative publicity and lawsuits.
But the bombshells occur when he is asked about the June 7, 2021, killings of his mother and little brother and the 2023 double murder trial that followed.

But when asked during the Fox Nation interviews if it was possible that his father actually committed those murders by his own hand, "Buster" told MacCallum, "No, because I think that I hold a very unique perspective that nobody else in that courtroom ever held. And I know the love that I have witnessed."
But the only surviving son of the convicted killer admits that his father is a "thief," a "liar" and a "manipulator."

Producers also say the show will take viewers "behind the veil of the Murdaugh’s legal strategy as it happened in real time and will be interwoven with sit-down interviews with the same legal team," as well as the lead prosecutor on the case, Creighton Waters, and Attorney General Alan Wilson, who discuss their current strategy.
The series also aims to "dive into the fraught life of Alex, Maggie, Paul and Buster and their own scandals as a family, including a string of crimes, deaths and mysteries that continued to weave the Murdaugh’s tangled web."
Additional interviews throughout the series include Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill, who read the guilty verdict, local attorney Joe McCulloch, Moselle dog kennel manager Roger Dale Davis Jr., Walterboro Mayor William T. Young Jr., the prosecution’s forensic expert Dr. Kenneth Kinsey and more
or perhaps missing the limelight. Anyway, jokes aside he’s a victim and you’d think he would want to move on. As apparent during trial he has close family ties and many family members who would be willing to help him heal - maybe? moo
