I’ve been obsessed with true crime for longer than I can remember. When I was a kid at my mom’s pathology lab, I would flip through her book of forensic case photos from murder scenes. I was fascinated when she showed me organs from autopsies. Now, I even listen to true crime podcasts while I fall asleep. And one day, I was listening to one of those podcasts, and I thought: what if there was a TV show like SUPERNATURAL for true crime?

MYSTERY SISTERS is a one hour mystery/crime procedural about a hacker with a mysterious past and a true-crime obsessed actress who trek across America together in a ramshackle Winnebago to crack neglected cases before they run cold.

Lexi is our quick-witted wannabe actress with a middling true crime YouTube channel. Shay is a reclusive data security analyst who was kidnapped as a child and never identified. 

When their old high school friend goes missing, the unlikely duo calls the police – but there’s not enough evidence to start an investigation. So, they steal Shay’s family RV and start their own. They find their friend and, with one successful case under their belt, embark on a journey across the US to solve others. And over the course of the season, they start to unravel what happened to Shay as a child.

MYSTERY SISTERS is a modern-day SUPERNATURAL for true crime – but instead of monsters and jumpscares, it deals with real world horrors and simmering dread… with a sprinkle of morbid comedy that true crime podcasts have captured so well.

This series explores society’s obsession with true crime – the people just chasing fame, the fans, and WHY people are even interested. MYSTERY SISTERS also sheds light on stories that don’t typically get attention. We all know about Dahmer, Bundy, Gacy – the big bads. But obscure and diverse cases also deserve the spotlight.

And that’s what the show is really about: the mysteriously lost, murdered, and forgotten. The cases people shrug off. That’s why it’s so important, and why so many people will love it. True crime junkies like me are always looking for more. A show where the characters give into their obsession, with a new fascinating case every week? I know I’d watch it, and millions of podcast listeners would, too.
