Co-pro with Blue Ant Media’s Saloon
CULVER CITY, Calif – Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer, will come to Amazon Prime Video in 2020, the company announced today.
The docuseries chronicles serial murderer Ted Bundy’s relationship with his long-term girlfriend Elizabeth Kendall. It will appear exclusively on Prime Video in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.
The series reframes Bundy’s crimes from a female perspective, says the press release, “uncovering the disturbing and profound way in which Bundy’s pathological hatred of women collided with the culture wars and feminist movement of the 1970s.”
“After nearly 40 years of silence, Kendall and her daughter Molly share their experiences with new unsettling details about Bundy, the inconceivable pull he had on women, and an abundant archive of never-before-seen family photos (like the one above).”
They will be joined other female voices, including survivors of Bundy’s attacks, who provide accounts Prime Video hopes will change the Bundy narrative “and provoke a discussion around gender politics that hauntingly resonates today,” reads the release,
It is a production of Amazon Studios and Saloon Media, a Blue Ant Studios company. Producer/director Trish Wood was a journalist for the CBC where she spent a decade reporting and producing investigative documentaries for the network’s award-winning current affairs program The Fifth Estate.
The launch of the series will coincide with the release of an updated and expanded edition of Kendall’s 1981 memoir The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy.
