BRAND NEW SEASON


SIXTEEN OF


MEDICAL DETECTIVES


AND ANNIVERSARY


SPECIAL


TO PREMIERE ON


CBS REALITY


The long-running true crime series, that
examines the extraordinary forensic
techniques used to catch some of
America’s most infamous murderers,
returns to CBS Reality this autumn. Medical
Detectives (produced as “Forensic Files”
in the US), features expert testimony and
dramatic reconstructions to reveal how
science helps pave the way to a potential
criminal conviction.
The cult investigative series is as popular
as its ever been, with celebrities such
as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Regina
Hall, Demi Lovato and Octavia Spencer all
confessing their love for the show, with the
latter quoted to have seen “every Forensic
Files [episode] known to man”.
The new season will explore a huge range
of historic cases, including the mysterious
murder of a young teacher’s aide in
Massachusetts, the death of a 51-year-old
father under suspicious circumstances, and
the killing of a single mum, which leads
detectives to look at her online dating
history. Can forensic evidence connect the
dots and lead to a conviction in each case?

THE SEASON SIXTEEN PREMIERE OF MEDICAL
DETECTIVES WILL FOLLOW ON THURSDAY 4TH
NOVEMBER AT 10PM

The Medical Detectives Anniversary
Special brings viewers clips from the
most popular episodes. The special
includes exclusive interviews with the
original production team, offering unique
insights from the show, whilst the behind-
the-scenes segments reveal how the
seminal reconstructions were made. This
one-off special takes a deep dive into
why the series was the first of its kind
and how its introduction of cinematic
qualities and storytelling transformed the
true crime genre.
