“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” is now on Netflix, bringing renewed interest to the case of the two brothers who murdered their parents. But as with any true crime series, there’s interest in knowing what the real people involved are up to now.

Erik and Lyle Menendez have been in prison since their 1996 conviction in the murder of their parents. As a note at the end of a series tells us, “Lyle and Erik Menendez maintain the allegation of sexual abuse at the hands of their mother and father. They continue to serve life sentences without the possibility of parole.”

Here’s where everyone stands.

A+E Networks is undergoing a round of layoffs, with several executives exiting their roles, TheWrap has learned.

While it’s unknown just how many staffers are being impacted by the cuts, the cost-cutting measures have led to the departures of a handful of senior execs across Lifetime, History and A&e.

Amy Savitsky, who has served as Lifetime’s SVP of unscripted development and programming for under two years, will depart the company, alongside Lifetime VPs Kim Chessler and Cat Rodriguez, who oversaw development on several Lifetime shows throughout their tenure.

Savitsky has been within the A+E Networks family for a while as she worked in a similar role at History overseeing series including “The Proof Is Out There” and “The Bermuda Triangle: Into Cursed Waters,” and, before that, worked at A&e overseeing series such as “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” and “Kids Behind Bars: Life or Parole.”

Also exiting is Peter Tarshis,...

Exclusive: A+E Networks is undergoing a round of layoffs today that has seen cuts across Lifetime and History’s programming teams.

Deadline understands that Amy Savitsky, SVP Unscripted Development and Programming at Lifetime, as well as VPs Kim Chessler and Cat Rodriguez are out as part of the cuts.

There also are cuts across History and A&e with Zach Behr, VP Unscripted Programming, History, and A&e’s Peter Tarshis, who has worked for the company for over 30 years, also departing.

It comes on the same day that Paramount began laying off around 15% of its staff, a move that saw the shuttering of Paramount TV Studios.

“This is like Red Wedding week for television,” one source told Deadline.

Several divisions across A+E Networks are affected, but it’s not clear how many people are impacted.

“We’re enormously grateful to the contributions of the employees who are departing our company today,...

Bill Kurtis narrates and adds dramatic emphasis to Cold Case Files' original and revival run. Kurtis' narration showcases his experience as a prominent investigative journalist. Danny Glover temporarily narrated the Netflix reboot before Kurtis returned for the revival on A&e Networks.

The two narrators for the true-crime series Cold Case Files not only add an air of further mystery to the show but have also worked on other projects involving criminal investigation. Cold Case Files is a 2017 limited series revival of the 1999 show of the same name. Both series explore criminal cases that have been closed for years, documenting both the past investigations and what happens when new leads arrive. The Netflix crime show copies the original's dramatic twists and turns as it looks into various stories. It also copies the show's added ominous feel through its invisible narrator.

The Netflix TV show's narrator serves a simple function in the series.

Released in 1989, Major League is not only remembered for being a hilarious and irreverent sports movie, but also for its star-studded cast. The film took many familiar tropes from baseball movies and turned them on their ear for a sidesplitting combination of sports, drama, and romance. The cast was jam-packed with established stars, but it also featured a few fresh faces that would see their careers reach new heights in the ensuing decade. Among the cast was a wealth of real-life baseball personalities, and the entire experience was steeped in an obvious love for America's pastime.

Though the film wasn't shortlisted for any awards, Major League still left its mark on popular culture and was received rather warmly by critics. In the U.S., the movie was a box office hit when it grossed $49 million (via Box Office Mojo), and is considered one of the best baseball movies in Hollywood.

Truth be told, the human species has always been interested in the dark subject that we now call “true crime.” In the Western mythological canon, the very first story after the creation of man and the Garden of Eden is literally that of a fratricide.

Still, you may have noticed of late that pop culture’s obsession with crimes, those who commit them, and how they are punished has intensified of late. If you want to pinpoint a recent moment in the 21st century where our fascination with true crime intensified, you can probably do a lot worse than 2004’s The Staircase.

The Staircase (titled Soupçons or “Suspicions” in its director’s native French) is a multi-part true crime docuseries that helped paved the way for so many of the other true crime docs we see today. The project began when French filmmaker Jean-Xavier de Lestrade learned of a curious...

A&e is reviving two fan-favorite true crime series.

“Cold Case Files” and “American Justice” will return to the cable network on Friday, Aug. 20, with original host and producer Bill Kurtis returning for “Cold Case” while Dennis Haysbert takes over narration for the “reimagined” version of “Justice.”

“Cold Case Files,” which revisits unsolved cases through interviews with family members and investigators, first debuted on A&e in 1999 with Kurtis as host. The network teamed with Blumhouse Television for a 10-episode revival in 2017, with Danny Glover providing narration.

“American Justice” aired on A&e between 1992 and 2005, examining cases like the Jeffrey Dahmer serial killings, the Wells Fargo Heist and the murder of Selena. Category 6 Media will produce both revivals for A&e.

“A&e has long been a leader in true crime programming and we are thrilled to bring back two of our original series that defined and shaped the genre,...

Exclusive: A team of prestigious documentary makers are teaming on what should be a hotly anticipated factual project – a feature doc coming to Netflix based on serial killer Dennis Nilsen’s recent posthumously-published autobiography, in which he confessed to three more attacks.

Nilsen, who killed at least 12 young men and boys between 1978 and 1983 and died in prison in 2018, was recently played by David Tennant in the well-received drama Des last year. An edited version of his autobiography, The History Of A Drowning Boy, which was written in prison and stretched to 6,000 pages, was published last week. The book drew criticism from the families of Nilsen’s victims but it was defended by its editors as valuable insight into the mind of a killer.

Michael Harte, whose credits as an editor include the Emmy-winning Netflix series Don’t F**k With Cats: Hunting An Internet Killer and the BAFTA-nominated Three Identical Strangers, is helming the project,...

BANFF, Alberta -- With spirits buoyed by the return of the Americans to a rebranded Banff World Television Festival, the annual TV talk shop this week spawned a bustling market for TV shows co-produced with international partners for the U.S. market. Bill Kurtis (American Justice), A&E host and head of Kurtis Prods., is in Banff looking for a Canadian independent producer to shoot a documentary that follows Kurtis on a return to Vietnam with a young woman he helped airlift to freedom as a baby in 1975 during the dramatic Fall of Saigon. "She's 30 years old now, I've followed her as she's grown up, and now we're going back to possibly find her mother who gave her up for adoption," the former Vietnam newsman said.
