This week on AMC Networks, the series premiere of AMC and Sundance TV's true crime docuseries "The Preppy Murder: Death in Central Park," the series finale of "Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America," plus and all-new episodes of "Baroness Von Sketch Show," "Blue Planet Now" and "The Walking Dead."

AMC and SundanceTV's upcoming five-part, true crime docuseries "The Preppy Murder: Death in Central" will simulcast over three consecutive nights, Wednesday, November 13th- Friday, November 15th at 9:00pm ET/PT. The series reexamines one of the most infamous crimes in recent American history - the 1986 killing of Jennifer Levin at the hands of Robert Chambers.

In Part One, "Woman Down in Central Park," the NYPD identifies a dead girl in Central Park as Jennifer Levin. The search for her killer leads to her prep school friend Robert Chambers. In Part Two, "Rough Sex," Robert confesses he killed Jennifer Levin accidentally during rough sex. His mother hires a high-profile attorney who says Jennifer was the aggressor.

The series continues on Thursday, November 14th at 9:00pm ET/PT, with two all-new episodes. In Part Three, "Who is Robert Chambers," Robert's "preppy" persona begins to crumble. When the Church steps in to support Robert, the Judge releases him on bail. In Part Four, "Blame The Victim," the media jumps on the defense's strategy to make Jennifer seem fast and loose. The prosecution works to establish motive.

Part Five premieres on Friday, November 15th at 9:00pm ET/PT. In Part Five, "The Trial of the Decade," both sides present their cases. Jurors are mesmerized by Robert's charisma. Afraid Robert has charmed the jurors, the prosecution offers a plea deal.

"The Preppy Murder: Death in Central Park" will expose evidence that was inadmissible in the trial and also examine the circumstances that made the story unfold the way it did: America's untamed ambition in the mid-1980s, the rarified lifestyle of New York's privileged prep school kids, sexism, elitism, an all-out tabloid media war that blamed the victim and an imperfect justice system.

The series is produced by Emmy(R) Award-winner Robert Friedman's Bungalow Media + Entertainment (Give, The Panama Papers) and directed by Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg (directors of Reversing Roe, Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work).

"Baroness Von Sketch Show" continues on Wednesday, November 13th at 12:00 am ET/PT. In new back-to-back episodes, "I Always Order Wrong" and "Shangela Was Robbed," the ladies talk about a superhero for our times, going braless, Groundhog Day, and a helpful cult.

Fast paced and irreverent, "Baroness von Sketch Show" celebrates the absurd, mines the embarrassing and satirizes our daily lives. This all-female, single- camera comedy series takes a fresh look at our navel-gazing, contemporary culture. From marriage equality to screen addiction, Airbnbs to ultrasounds, this satirical sketch show captures the banalities and absurdities of modern life.

"Blue Planet Now" continues on Saturday, November 16th at 9:00 pm ET/PT. On Saturday's episode, "Shark Paradise," Liz Bonnin joins scientists to find out how temperature increases are impacting the reef, and how plastic is putting the future of the planet's turtles at risk. In a dramatic maneuver to capture coral spawning, we follow an ambitious attempt to restore the reef through IVF transplants. Continuing his journey down the Baja Peninsula in Mexico, Chris is on a quest for ocean giants, and out in the Pacific, the crew on board an expedition research vessel explore the mysterious world of the deep ocean to discover how our actions may be impacting the deepest, darkest, depths.

"Blue Planet Now" is a all-new follow-up series to the critically-acclaimed "Blue Planet II," exploring the health of our oceans and marine life across the globe. "Blue Planet Now" follows hosts Chris Packham, Liz Bonnin and Steve Backshall as they travel to different locales around the globe where marine life is coping with increasing changes. The four-episode series is executive produced by Roger Webb with Vanessa Coates serving as series producer.

"The Walking Dead" continues on Sunday, November 17th at 9:00 p.m ET/PT. In the new episode, "Open Your Eyes," Carol pushes boundaries that make Daryl uncomfortable. Alpha and Beta have reservations about someone.

"The Walking Dead" is a story that started 10 years ago with one man trying to find his family. That family grew and gradually communities took shape. They fought and survived, thrived and gave birth to a new generation. It is a tale of humankind and there are more stories to tell. It is now Spring, a few months after the end of Season Nine, when our group of survivors dared to cross into Whisperer territory during the harsh winter. The collected communities are still dealing with the after-effects of Alpha's horrific display of power, reluctantly respecting the new borderlines being imposed on them, all while organizing themselves into a militia-style fighting force, preparing for a battle that may be unavoidable. But the Whisperers are a threat unlike any they have ever faced. Backed by a massive horde of the dead it is seemingly a fight they cannot win. The question of what to do and the fear it breeds will infect the communities and give rise to paranoia, propaganda, secret agendas, and infighting that will test them as individuals and as a society. The very idea of whether civilization can survive in a world filled with the dead hangs in the balance.

Following "The Walking Dead," viewers can catch an all-new episode of "Talking Dead" hosted by Chris Hardwick at 10:05 p.m. ET/PT, featuring "A Million Little Things" actor and former "The Walking Dead" cast member Chandler Riggs, and "The Walking Dead" star Avi Nash.

AMC's in-depth documentary series "Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America," finales on Sunday, November 17th at Midnight ET/PT. In the series finale episode, "Ladies First," a song highlighting the height of hip hop's misogynistic themes, the culture bows down to their queens of rap. Guest stars in this episode include Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Monica Lynch and more.

Artists, their collaborators and other influential musical and cultural figures deconstruct compositions, revisit the impact the song had on them personally, and dissect the socio-economic and cultural conditions that inspired the landmark work and gave voice to a generation. "Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America" is part of AMC's Visionaries series from Oscar and Emmy-winning Jigsaw Productions in association with Two One Five Entertainment. In addition to Thompson, Trotter, and Gibney, the series is also executive produced by Shawn Gee, Stacey Offman, Richard Perello, and Shea Serrano. Angie Day, Erik Parker and One9 also serve as co-executive producers.

Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter, Alex Gibney serve as the show's executive producers, and Erik Parker and One9 are the directors.
