"Murdaugh: Death in the Family" is a true crime drama miniseries created by Michael D. Fuller and Erin Lee Carr.

The series' storyline details the life of Alex Murdaugh, a lawyer from a prestigious legal dynasty in South Carolina.

The story centers on a series of crimes he committed, including the tragic murder of his wife and son in 2021.

The Murdaugh family has long been known as a highly influential legal dynasty in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina.

For nearly a century, three generations of Randolph Murdaughs served consecutively as circuit attorneys for the state's 14th judicial district, from 1920 to 2006.

The family's power and prominence led locals to nickname the five-county district "Murdaugh Country."

The Murdaugh family law firm, founded by Randolph Murdaugh Sr., is now known as Parker Law Group.

Richard Alexander "Alex" Murdaugh, born on May 27, 1968, is a fourth-generation attorney from the Murdaugh family.

The ultimate tragedy struck this family on June 7, 2021, when Alex's wife, Margaret "Maggie" Murdaugh, 52, and his son, Paul Murdaugh, 22, were found shot to death on their family property in Islandton, South Carolina.

The Murdaugh family case has attracted the attention of numerous documentaries and true crime series.

In addition to the upcoming "Murdaugh: Death in the Family," several other productions have already explored this family drama.

Netflix released "Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal" on February 22, 2023, with the second season premiering on September 20, 2023.

HBO Max also followed suit with "Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty," which offers a different perspective on the family and the crimes that happened.
