(New York, NY) - Exploring the dangerous reality of online exposure behind the glimmer of social media, Investigation Discovery's new series DEADLY INFLUENCE: THE SOCIAL MEDIA MURDERS takes a hard look at the cost of an online existence in the digital media landscape. The series will delve into the underbelly of social media, exploring the dark reality of toxic online communities and showcasing the devastating risks associated with viral social media fame. The new, six-episode series unpacks shocking true crime stories involving influencers and digital communities across the social media landscape. DEADLY INFLUENCE: THE SOCIAL MEDIA MURDERS will premiere Mondays at 9/8c on ID and streaming on Max beginning June 3.

DEADLY INFLUENCE: THE SOCIAL MEDIA MURDERS tackles a wide range of cases from all corners of the digital landscape. From individuals seeking community who end up being targeted by toxic forums patrolled by angry, misogynistic rhetoric to popular social media personalities who have heartbreaking, hidden lives, DEADLY INFLUENCE will pull back the curtain on the dark intricacies of social media and the dangers that lurk within. While social media may appear as the key to opportunity and validation - the ability to build a career as an influencer and access wealth, celebrity, power and find communities that offer connectivity - involvement in these digital environments can breed a dangerous type of reality. Episodes this season include:
