Investigation Discovery (ID) has renewed two of Octavia Spencer’s true crime series, the ‘Lost Women’ franchise and the FBI docuseries ‘Feds’, for second seasons. The first seasons of both series premiered on ID in November 2023 and are currently available for streaming on Max.
The renewals are part of a production deal involving Spencer’s Orit Entertainment, October Films, discovery+, and ID.
The upcoming season of the Lost Women franchise will investigate the murders of two Alaska indigenous women, Veronica Abouchuk and Kathleen Jo Henry. The series will cover the investigation that led to the capture and conviction of their killer, Brian Steven Smith.
Feds will continue to provide viewers with an inside look at the FBI, highlighting the agency’s efforts in fighting crime across the United States.
Spencer, who will executive produce both series and narrate the new Lost Women series, emphasized the importance of these stories. “Our ongoing partnership with ID and October Films is a collective commitment to shining a spotlight on important true crime stories,” Spencer said.
The Lost Women franchise, which examines society’s treatment of women, began with Lost Women of Highway 20. This series focused on a missing 13-year-old girl and revealed a decades-long true crime saga along an Oregon highway.
The executive producers for Lost Women include Spencer, Brian Clisham, and Stephanie Kluft of Orit Entertainment, Matt Robins of October Films, and Christina Douglas of Momentum Content. Feds is executive produced by Spencer, Clisham, and Kluft of Orit Entertainment, along with Matt Robins of October Films.
