Academy Award-winning actress/producer Octavia Spencer is teaming up with Investigation Discovery (ID) to release two true crime docu-series in November.
The first one is Lost Women of Highway 20 and the second one is Feds.
Narrated by Spencer herself, Lost Women Of Highway 20 is a gripping new six-part series that takes an in-depth look inside the FBI, and offers unprecedented access to active-duty agents. The docuseries kicks off with the mysterious disappearance of 13-year-old Rachanda Pickle in 1990. As detectives delve into her case, they uncover a chilling trail of missing and murdered women that stretches back for decades along Oregon’s US Highway 20. Even more disturbing is that the perpetrator evades capture, hiding in plain sight.
This documentary is set to delve deep into the case, raising poignant questions about society’s treatment of women, both in the past and today.
Meanwhile, Feds is a six-part series offering an unprecedented look inside the FBI, taking viewers into the heart of America’s most elite crime-fighting agency, offering an insider’s perspective through interviews with active-duty FBI agents. The series covers a wide range of cases, from infiltrating the notorious MS-13 gang in Boston to dismantling a multimillion-dollar drug empire in Florida. Feds offer viewers a glimpse into the lengths the FBI goes to protect citizens nationwide.
In the season premiere, viewers will be on the edge of their seats as FBI special agents Wayne Jackowski and Andy Kehren recount a heart-pounding investigation involving a terrifying kidnapping that culminates in a high-speed car chase with the prime suspect. The show promises to deliver unparalleled insight into the twists and turns of each investigation as agents let their guard down and invite us into their private world.
“Lost Women Of Highway 20” will premiere all three parts in one night on November 5. “Feds” premieres on November 8, with new episodes airing weekly.
Both docuseries, “Lost Women Of Highway 20” and “Feds,” are produced for Investigation Discovery by Orit Entertainment and October Films.
These projects mark Octavia Spencer’s partnership with Investigation Discovery. Last year she inked a development and production deal with ID, discovery+ and October Films to create premium unscripted true crime TV content. Spencer and her production company, Orit Entertainment, are working with October Films to produce a slate of series and specials that Spencer, discovery+ and true crime and justice network ID will executive produce.
