Murdaugh Murders Season 1
The trial was actively ongoing when the first season was released, with no precise results. Later, Murdaugh was found guilty of the murders, his wife’s and son’s. Later, there were many other cases, the money laundering ones, for which the trial was soon to be started.
The viewership numbers went relatively high, and the cast took some complicated twists. That is what pushed the series towards a second season. On Netflix, the first season was the No. 2, and that was for two weeks.
