Episode notes

We have a hilarious pilot for you this month! It’s called Faking A Murderer  written by Michael Jonathan Smith (creator of Twisted Metal, Cobra Kai). This pilot is about  the members of a small town police department who invent a serial killer to save their town’s budget. Trigger warning! There’s a lot of death, sick gross stuff, and the mistreatment of corpses in this one but it somehow manages to be insanely hilarious.

Faking A Murderer was written by Michael Jonathan Smith and developed by Chris Yule and Alex Aschinge. This project was setup at Quibi with Sony attached to produced. Julius Sharpe was signed on to co-showrun with Seth Gordon attached to direct.  This is a twisted pilot for all of our sickos out there! Enjoy it!
