Dick Wolf’s Homicide: New York: Everything you need to know

The five episodes will go into detail about 5 of the most famous homicide cases in New York history. The series is a brainchild of Dick Wolf himself and unlike most of his existing work revolving around crime, will be focused on real stories.

The Dick Wolf series is set to include interviews with prosecutors and detectives who worked on the specific cases and is bound to give an insightful, sometimes harrowing look into New York-specific homicide cases.

The series trailer did a lot to further add to the speculation surrounding Homicide. It saw the narration being taken over by a female investigator, who went into detail about a particular case.

Promising a high level of accuracy and insight, the trailer is bound to excite fans and promises effectively that a range of harrowing cases will be looked into. The series caption in itself promises that it looks into five of the most famous homicide cases in New York’s history.

The five episodes are all set to drop on Netflix on March 20, with no specific release date having been announced for Homicide: Los Angeles.

However, the second part of the Homicide series is also set to be released in 2024 and will focus on five murders that took place in LA County. Regardless, with mere days left for the series premiere and the kind of anticipation which has resulted from Dick Wolf’s involvement with the project, Homicide: New York appears to be a must-watch, especially for true-crime fans!
