Nitehawk Cinema offers a sneak preview of the first two episodes of A&E Network’s gritty new docu- series THE KILLING SEASON. Filmmakers Joshua Zeman and Rachel Mills will be here for a Q&A!

A&E Network’s gritty new docu- series “The Killing Season” from Executive Producer Alex Gibney is an immersive series that follows documentarians, Joshua Zeman (Cropsey) and Rachel Mills, as they investigate one of the most bizarre unsolved serial killer cases of our time — the deaths of ten sex workers discovered on Gilgo Beach, Long Island. Authorities believe these killings are the work of theLong Island Serial Killer, who after five years remains at large. Forging relationships with cyber-sleuths, journalists and victim’s families, Zeman and Mills uncover connections that suggest Long Island is just the beginning

This gripping eight-episode series is a deep-dive into a world of serial murder rarely seen before, going beyond pop-culture stereotypes to expose a broken system and real-life American nightmare. However, with the help of Websleuths.com and data journalists, Zeman and Mills learn that everyday citizens can make a difference — by uncovering clues that police cannot, in hopes that one day, “The Killing Season” will end.
