ABC Developing Drama Based On High School Forensics Club That Solves Cold Cases

ABC is developing a new drama series titled Killer Class, based on the true story of a high school forensics club that solved real cold cases. The show is inspired by an article written by Keith Sharon for The Tennessean, which detailed the unexpected formation and success of a club at Elizabethton High School. The official logline states that the series “tracks the unexpected formation of a HS Forensics Club that proves shockingly effective at solving real cold cases.” Executive producer Ken Kwapis described the concept as “Breakfast Club meets true crime,” praising the students and their teacher for solving cases that had been cold for decades. (Variety)
