HBO is premiering The Pet Cemetery Murders: A Ghost Story at 9 p.m. ET/PT tonight, with streaming availability on HBO Max. The three-part documentary series is scheduled to continue with one episode each Sunday.
The series begins with the reopening of a 1985 Louisiana murder case involving pet-cemetery owner Dorothy Lou Thompson. HBO’s synopsis says the investigation expands into the history of violence and unresolved trauma surrounding the community.
Philip Cairney wrote and directed the Lightbox production. Simon Chinn, Jonathan Chinn, Suzanne Lavery, James Marsh and Silvia Sacco are listed as executive producers; this brief confirms the release plan and credits rather than assessing the program.
