In the spring of 2022, The New Yorker’s Lauren Collins reported on the unusual career of Stéphane Bourgoin, a French expert on serial killers known for his jailhouse interviews. Bourgoin’s striking persona made him famous in his home country, but eventually attracted the attention of an anonymous collective of true-crime fans, who began investigating Bourgoin’s own story. On August 28th, a TV adaptation of the article, “Killer Lies: Chasing a True Crime Con Man,” will première at 8 P.M. on National Geographic. The three-part documentary series, a collaboration with The New Yorker Studios, will stream the next day on Hulu.
