Disney+ Brings "20/20" to the UK for a Look at Britain’s Most Notorious Crime Investigations

20/20 is going international, as Disney+ is bringing the first ever international version of the series to the UK next week.

What's Happening:

• Deadline reports that Disney+ will debut 20/20: Britain’s Most Notorious Crime Investigations on Thursday, July 30.
• Exclusive interviews and fresh revelations will take viewers beyond the headlines to the heart of the story.
• The new series will reopen six cases, including:
  • Jane Andrews, the Duchess of York’s former aide and dresser who was convicted of murder
  • Ben Field, the charming young churchwarden accused of seducing older people into signing over their estates
  • Joanna Yeates, who went missing on a freezing night in Bristol and was never found
  • Ben Needham, who was abducted from the Greek island of Kos in the early 1990s
  • Scottish serial killer Peter Tobin
  • Mahek Bukhari, a TikTok influencer who murdered her mother’s lover and his friend in a high-speed car chase
• These are some of the most high-profile cases in the UK, with the first three having been made into successful TV dramas.
• 20/20 is new to the UK, but is a household name in the US. Perhaps the UK's most similar show, Crimewatch, ran on the BBC for decades, but was canceled in 2017.
• Candle True Stories, which is run by former ABC News boss James Goldston, won a tender to produce the series and is co-producing with ABC News Studios.
• 20/20: Britain’s Most Notorious Crime Investigations will premiere on Disney+ in the UK and Disney+ and Hulu in the U.S. on Thursday, July 30.
