When you're trying to get some gardening done, what are the chances you unearth more than just soil. Oxygen's famed series, 'Buried in the Backyard' is returning with more true-crimes stories about unfortunate victims, whose remains were found buried in the least expected location - the backyard. Here is everything you need to know about the new season.

Plot
'Buried in the Backyard' examines true-crime cases of victims whose remains were found hidden in quintessential idyllic places.

The series also features captivating dramatizations of what might have transpired while the crime was committed, real-life footage from the case as well as intimate conversations with friends and family of the victims.
