###60 DAYS IN
12-part series starts Wednesday 11 May at 9.30pm AEST
Explosive new docu-series follows seven innocent people as they go undercover in a notorious US jail
On Wednesday, May 11 at 9.30pm AEST, Foxtel’s crime + investigation channel will premiere an unprecedented television event, 60 Days In, an explosive new docu-series following seven innocent participants who enter the dangerous world of incarceration.
Produced by A+E Network in the US and filmed at the Clark County Jail in Jeffersonville, Indiana, 60 Days In exposes what really happens behind bars, as seven participants live among the facility’s general population for 60 days – without officers, fellow inmates or staff knowing their secret.
Hundreds of around-the-clock cameras planted throughout the jail capture this unparalleled access, in a ground-breaking effort to bring problems to light and give viewers a first-hand look at prison life, as the participants, none of whom have ever been charged with a crime, adapt to unfamiliar and often terrifying surroundings.
Clark County Correctional Jail houses approximately 500 prisoners, from inmates charged with drug dealing to first time offenders to murder. Due to the facility’s recent corrupt history, Sherrif Jamey Noel devised this program to have innocent participants live in the jail and finally uncover the truth about what really happens within the walls of the prison.
Each participant’s reason for volunteering for the program varies, but they share the ultimate goal of leaving with a better understanding of the system – how it operates, its psychological effects and wanting a part in exposing its larger impact on society.
60 Days In will be broadcast in over 100 territories worldwide. A+E Networks have just announced a second season.
###CRIMES THAT SHOOK AUSTRALIA - Season 2
PRESENTED BY STAN GRANT
Starts Sunday 29 May at 7.30pm AEST
The second season of Foxtel’s critically acclaimed series Crimes That Shook Australia returns to the crime + investigation network on Sunday, May 29 at 7.30pm AEST.
Presented by award-winning journalist and SKY NEWS anchor Stan Grant, the 8 x 60 minute documentary series explores some of the most notorious crimes Australia has ever seen, told through the eye witness experience of the people who were right at the heart of the tragedies, including the police and the victims’ families.
Through gripping interviews, dramatic reconstructions and archival footage, Crimes That Shook Australia details the events leading up to the crime, the crime itself and its enduring effect on the national consciousness.
The stories documented in the eight-part series are, in order: Robert Farquharson, Peter Falconio, the Strathfield massacre, Darcey Freeman, the Russell Street bombing, Raechel Betts, the Hoddle Street massacre and Gerard Baden-Clay.
Episode one investigates the story of Robert Farquharson, whose chilling crime has been etched on the minds of many Australians since 2005, when Farquharson drove his car in to a dam off the Princes Highway on Father’s Day, killing his three sons.
Originally Farquharson claimed to have blacked out during a coughing fit, only to be found guilty of murder after a long and highly publicised trial. In August, 2013, his latest appeal for freedom was rejected, finally bringing an end to his family’s ordeal.
Crimes That Shook Australia is a Foxtel commission, produced by Title Role Productions Ltd and exclusive to crime + investigation.
###60 DAYS IN - Season 2
From Wednesday 28 September at 9.30pm AEST
On Wednesday, September 28 at 9.30pm AEST, Foxtel’s crime + investigation network will premiere the second season of the ground breaking docu-series and global television phenomenon 60 Days In, as eight innocent participants enter the dangerous world of incarceration.
Produced by A+E Network in the US and filmed at the Clark County Jail in Jeffersonville, Indiana before the premiere of season one, 60 Days In season two leads an even deeper investigation in to what really happens behind bars, as eight new volunteers live among the facility’s general population for 60 days under the watch of around-the-clock cameras – without officers, fellow inmates or staff knowing their secret.
This gripping, high-octane 12-part series follows the innocent group of participants on an emotional journey to the end, as they navigate and attempt to assimilate and survive incarceration, facing some very dramatic twists and turns along the way.
Season two’s new set of participants, none of whom have ever been charged with a crime, each have their own personal motivations for entering the prison and include an aspiring police officer, a mother of an incarcerated daughter and a criminology student.
Corruption runs rampant at the Clark County Jail: drugs, crooked guards and gangs have taken over what is supposed to be a safe space for inmates. When the season one participants exited the jail, Clark County Sheriff Jammy Noel was overwhelmed by the startling insights each had to offer and was eager to gain even more insider information in season two. This season, the stakes are even higher as 60 Days In aims to finally fix a broken system.

60 DAYS IN: ATLANTA - New season filmed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the United States
Starts Wednesday 26 April at 9.30pm AEST
On Wednesday, April 26 at 9.30pm AEST, Foxtel’s crime + investigation network will premiere the third season of the ground-breaking documentary series and global television phenomenon 60 Days In.
Produced by A+E Network in the US, this extraordinary new season moves from Indiana to Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail – one of the most dangerous facilities in the United States – and follows nine innocent volunteers who are sent to jail for 60 days, living amongst the prisoners and under the watch of around-the-clock cameras, without fellow inmates or staff knowing their secret.
With five times the number of inmates at Fulton County Jail than in previous seasons, rampant drug problems within the prison, a powerful gang population and the constant threat of violence, the innocent participants of 60 Days In are plunged even deeper into the dangerous world of incarceration in season three.
Said Foxtel’s General Manager of Factuals, Jim Buchan, “60 Days In as a concept has proven to be as fascinating a series phenomenon for our Ci audience as it has internationally. A social experiment with purpose, the series has provided viewers with an incredibly unique look at what incarceration does to people and how we deal with criminals in our supposed modern society.”
Chief Jailer of the Fulton County Jail, Colonel Mark C. Adger, learned of the tremendous success of the previous undercover programs in seasons one and two filmed in Clark County Jail, Indiana – and invited nine new volunteers in to his facility for season three, in order to expose the root of the prison’s issues, while providing an unbiased perspective of life on the inside.
The participants who infiltrate the jail this season include a special education teacher who works with at-risk youth; a man who believes the system has failed African Americans and wants to help fight discrimination; a former corrections officer who wants to see what it is like when the roles are reversed; a woman who met her husband while he was incarcerated and hopes to understand his institutionalised behaviour and a Marine with law enforcement aspirations.
60 Days In season three is a 15 x 60 minute series produced by A+E Network in the US. It is exclusive to Foxtel’s crime + investigation network in Australia.
60 Days In premieres on Wednesday, April 26 at 9.30pm AEST on crime + investigation network.
Re-launch alert 
I noticed tonight the old “CI” logo had been replaced with the full “Crime and Investigation” name on the Foxtel Go app. I preferred the old branding and hate how Foxtel has taken to stacking channel names. First Showcase and now this.
its a world wide rebrand nothing to do with Foxtel
Better than the Discovery networks plastering the channel number on screen. What’s the point of that? We know what channel we’re watching, when we’re watching it!

###Court Justice: Sydney
Ground-breaking new series Court Justice: Sydney to premiere on Crime + Investigation
A ground-breaking new observational documentary series, Court Justice: Sydney will premiere exclusively on Foxtel’s Crime + Investigation network in the second half of 2017.
For the first time on Australian television, cameras have been allowed inside one of the world’s busiest local courts, The Downing Centre in Sydney, taking viewers to the absolute front line of Australia’s legal system.
Produced by CJZ for Foxtel, this fascinating 10 x 30 minute series will give viewers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look in to the daily dramas facing the courts’ Magistrates, as they preside over a vast array of cases from drug matters and drink driving, to assault, theft and vandalism.
The 12 magistrates that preside at The Downing Centre lead by Chief Magistrate Judge Graeme Henson handle over 30,000 cases every year, from minor traffic offences to major assaults. It is a world filled with emotion and drama where defendants, ranging from habitual offenders to everyday citizens who have made a bad mistake, stream through the courtroom doors every day.
Foxtel’s General Manager for Factual, Jim Buchan, said: “It’s been an incredible opportunity gaining unprecedented access to The Downing Centre Local court. In creating a series that captures the real life drama of the court room, our audience will not only be fascinated to see how justice is served, they will also see illuminated the important problems, issues and questions of morality that exist within our modern society.”
Judge Henson said: “Research shows confidence in the criminal justice system is higher among people who understand how it works and this program will give the community an insight into how magistrates make their decisions.”
Said Executive Producer for CJZ, Michael Cordell, “Gaining television access to our courts is one of the last frontiers of observational filmmaking in Australia. We’ve seen a lot of police shows, ambulance shows and the like, but we rarely get a chance to observe what happens in our courts, which are critical to the way society functions.”

The Queen & Zak Grieve
Wednesday 27 September at 7:30pm AEST
A 90-minute, hard-hitting crime investigation premieres Wednesday, September 27 at 7:30pm, on Foxtel’s CI.
Walkley award-winning investigative reporter Dan Box has produced this six-part vodcast documentary series for The Australian newspaper, which is now available to watch as a 90-minute special, only on Foxtel’s crime + investigation.
The Queen & Zak Grieve tells the story of a young Indigenous man convicted of murder and facing a life in prison as a result of the Northern Territory’s mandatory sentencing laws, a decision the judge himself described as an “injustice”.
Dan and his team spent weeks in the Top End town of Katherine investigating the killing and the events that led to Zak Grieve being jailed, despite evidence he was not there when the crime took place. They conducted exclusive interviews with many of the people involved, including the judge who sent Grieve to jail, and obtained rare access to crime scene footage, forensic photographs, police interviews with suspects and trial recordings from the case.
The compelling documentary raises questions about the criminal justice system itself. How could this apparent injustice have happened? Is it time for the mandatory sentencing laws that led to Grieve’s lifelong incarceration to finally be revoked?
Director Ivan O’Mahoney said: “This was a unique opportunity for us to work with one of Australia’s best reporters, on a story of national importance and pioneer a new way of long-form documentary storytelling.”
Jim Buchan, Foxtel’s General Manager – Factual Channels, said: “We’re pleased to be working with The Australian, In Films and Screen Australia in bringing our CI audience this important and moving Australian story.
Dan Box’s investigation highlights how Australia’s mandatory sentencing laws challenge our everyday perception of what justice should look like.”The Queen & Zak Grieve is produced by In Films for The Australian and Foxtel, with production funding from Screen Australia, in association with Create NSW.

THE BEAUMONT CHILDREN MYSTERY
Friday 26 January at 10.30pm AEDT
Re-examine the Beaumont children’s disappearance… from the very beginning. Did a psychic predict the truth?
In light of recent developments, on the 52nd anniversary of the Beaumont children’s disappearance CI will air a special episode of CRIME INVESTIGATION AUSTRALIA: THE BEAUMONT CHILDREN MYSTERY on Friday, January 26 at 10.30pm.
Hosted by Steve Liebmann, this 60-minute special follows the original investigation into one of Australia’s most infamous and unsolved crimes – the disappearance of the three Beaumont children.
On Australia Day 1966, an outing to a beach in Adelaide turned to horror when three small children, Jane (9), Arnna (7), and Grant Beaumont (4), vanished suddenly and without a trace.
Were the children abducted by the man seen playing with them at the beach? Were they buried in an accident in the sand dunes? Or are they still alive?This CRIME INVESTIGATION AUSTRALIA episode includes detailed re-enactments, exclusive interviews with the parents and police as well as extensive examinations of the theories behind the well-publicised case.
The special also looks at the claims made by world-renowned Dutch psychic Gerard Croiset shortly after they disappeared that the children had not been kidnapped but rather had been trapped below the concrete floor of a warehouse that was being built. Years later in 1996, the warehouse was eventually excavated but no trace of the Beaumont children was ever found. Recent developments will see SA Police excavate a new area of this same factory in search of the three children.
Did a psychic predict the truth? Is one of Australia’s most baffling crimes about to be solved? Follow the original investigation when CI airs CRIME INVESTIGATION AUSTRALIA: THE BEAUMONT CHILDREN MYSTERY on Friday January 26 at 10:30pm. Encore screenings Saturday January 27 at 9:30am and 5:00pm.

Surviving R. Kelly
Starts Friday 22 February at 9.30pm AEDT
In the ground-breaking and controversial documentary series Surviving R. Kelly , women are emerging from the shadows and uniting their voices to share their stories. Celebrated as one of the greatest R&B singers of all time, R. Kelly’s genre defining career and playboy lifestyle has been riddled with alleged rumours of abuse, predatory behaviour, and paedophilia. Despite damning evidence and multiple witnesses, to date, none of these accusations have seemingly affected him.
For the first time ever, survivors and people from R. Kelly’s inner circle, are coming forward with new allegations about his sexual, mental, and physical abuse. They are now finally ready to share their full story and shed light on the secret life the public has never seen.
Uncovering over 10 survivors’ stories, the documentary series features 52 interviews, including women’s rights activist Tarana Burke , musicians John Legend and Sparkle , talk-show host and former DJ Wendy Williams , ex-wife Andrea Kelly , ex-girlfriend Kitti Jones , brothers Cary and Bruce Kelly , and many others, who look at R. Kelly’s controversial past, beginning in 1970 through to the present day and shed a light on the R&B star whose history of alleged abuse of underage African American girls has, until recently, been largely ignored by mainstream media.
Surviving R. Kelly is executive produced by cultural critic, filmmaker and passionate activist dream hampton, Tamara Simmons, Joel Karlsberg and Jesse Daniels for Kreativ Inc. which has a production deal with Bunim/Murray Productions (BMP), and Brie Miranda Bryant from Lifetime.
