DESCRIPTION:
(from Investigation Discovery's press release, March 2017) "The Von Bulow Affair" was the most scandalous and sensational murder trial of the 1980s, borne from the bowels of high society that existed between white-linen parties of Newport and white-powder mischief at New York's poshest nightclub. America was riveted by the charges that Danish-born aristocrat Claus von Bulow twice attempted to murder his heiress wife Sunny by insulin overdose to inherit her millions and marry his mistress. Claus's first conviction was overturned on appeal, and a second trial found him not guilty, but many still believe he's to blame for her eventual death in 2008, more than a quarter century after falling into a persistent vegetative state. In a six-part original scripted series from Universal Cable Productions, THE VON BULOW AFFAIR (wt), currently in development for Investigation Discovery, tells the whole story unfiltered, chronicling the death of America's aristocracy through the tragic demise of one of its last dynastic families. Based on the book "The Von Bulow Affair" by author and playwright William Wright, the series is executive produced by Meryl Poster (Chicago, Cider House Rules, Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce) and Ilene Rosenzweig (Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce), who is the writer/executive producer on the project. THE VON BULOW AFFAIR is slated to premiere exclusively on ID in 2018.
