SundanceTV released the trailer and key art for the next series in the network's popular “True Crime Story” franchise, True Crime Story: Smugshot, which premieres Thursday, March 14 at 10pm ET/PT on SundanceTV, AMC+ and Sundance Now. 

New episodes premiere weekly on Thursdays, with the series two-part finale “Dickweed” airing Thursday, April 11.

True Crime Story: Smugshot is a six-episode anthology docu-series in which each episode spotlights a unique story of entitled individuals involved in elaborate criminal behavior. Their crimes range from petty to devastating, but the series of events surrounding the crime are always surprising.

Whether in pursuit of revenge or riches, status or glory, freedom or fame; each of these law-breakers cling to their entitlement in spite of having more to lose than to gain. At times quirky and funny, at others outrageous or disturbing, these are the stories of people who thought they could, or should, get away with it.

True Crime Story: Smugshot, a SundanceTV Original Series, is created and executive produced by award-winning documentary filmmakers Amy Bandlien Storkel and Bryan Storkel (The Pez Outlaw, Bitconned, The Legend of Cocaine Island). Rebecca Stern, Jonathan Ignatius Green, and Bryan & Amy Storkel serve as episodic directors while Karen Bowlin, Jefferis Gray, Clay Jeter, Justin Levy and David Ricksecker produce.  Production studios are AMC Studios and Sidestilt Films.
