You have heard of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' from Bravo. Now, it's time for a different type of Orange County reality from Bravo's sister network, Oxygen, which is set to unveil a new true-crime series with 'The Real Murders of Orange County'. After all, the rich can have ugly skeletons in their closets too.

The series will delve into the most horrific, sinful and salacious cases that rocked Southern California's wealthy coastal community. Read on to know more about the show.

Release date

'The Real Murders of Orange County' will premiere on Oxygen on Sunday, November 8, at 7/6c with two hour-long episodes and the series will air every Sunday night with back-to-back premieres. The episodes on Sunday, November 22 will begin at 7.30 pm ET.

Plot

In California’s wealthy coastal community of Orange County, residents are blessed with year-round beautiful weather, a first-class shopping experience and breathtaking ocean views. While Orange County is known for its rich, shiny veneer, every community has a dark side. From a murder for hire gone wrong to families turning on their own, viewers will hear the harrowing tales of when privilege leads to problems and greed leads to murder on 'The Real Murders of Orange County'. 

The premiere episode examines the case of Jane Carver, a flight attendant who died while jogging yards away from her home in the picturesque community of Fountain Valley. With no evidence and minimal information from witnesses, the shooting goes unsolved for a year until police linked a similar shooting in Huntington Beach that led to the true motive behind the murder. This tragic case of mistaken identity shocked the affluent community as one wrong turn led to a brutal murder.

The next episode follows the senseless shooting of the Sachs family that rocked the community when the family is gunned down in their seaside vacation home, leaving both parents dead and the brother paralyzed. What police discover is that not everyone was successfully living up to the perfect family image and it ended in a devastating murder.

Producers

'The Real Murders of Orange County' is produced by 44 Blue Productions, a Red Arrow Studios company, with Stephanie Noonan Drachkovitch, Josh Bingham, David Hale and Dan Snook serving as Executive Producers.
