But if you thought true crime was soooo 2018, you my friends, would be wrong. 

To kick-start our new year, Netflix has decided to give all us true crime fans a new docuseries on one of America’s most infamous and twisted serial killers, Ted Bundy.

Ted Bundy was convicted for the murder of at least 30 women from 1974 to 1978 and was sentenced to death in 1979.  

The new docuseries will explore the media frenzy surrounding the case, Bundy’s legions of female admirers while in prison, and his marriage to Carol Ann Boone whom Bundy married in the middle of his murder trial, with Boone even testifying on behalf of the serial killer. 

Without a doubt, one of the most interesting – and terrifying – aspects to the case is Ted Bundy’s looks and charm, which he used to carry out the murders and evade detection for so long.
