“Washington D.C. Sniper” Leads Eight Episode Weekend Series That Probes

News Events of Enduring Historical Impact

Crimes of the Century, a CNN Original series executive produced by acclaimed director Ridley Scott, David Zucker and Mary Lisio of Scott Free Productions, premieres Sunday, June 23 at 9pm ET. 

Each of the series’ eight episodes will focus on a single major news event that was considered not only shocking at the time, but has since had far reaching repercussions.  Employing Scott’s signature visual style, the series builds on archived and never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews with witnesses, victims, and investigators of the crimes, offering viewers a virtual scene-of-the-crime vantage point.

The premiere episode focuses on the terrifying 2001 Washington D.C. sniper attack. Upcoming episodes explore the John Lennon killing, the Andrea Yates murders, the Reagan assassination attempt, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Amanda Knox story, the Waco siege and the Unabomber case.

Following each week’s premiere episode on Sundays, 9pm-10pm, ET, Crimes of the Century will re-air that same night at 12 midnight, again at 3am, ET, and several other times during subsequent weekends. Inside Man, hosted by Morgan Spurlock, which also premieres on June 23 as previously announced, airs at 10pm -11 pm ET on Sundays.
