MGM+’s deep-dive docuseries The Hillside Strangler revisits the terrifying killing spree that occurred in Los Angeles during the late 1970s, exploring the chilling murders of young women, the ensuing media frenzy, and the complex police investigation and court case that ultimately led to the arrest of cousins Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono.

The series contextualizes the crimes within the cultural anxiety of the era, shedding light on how the case reshaped public fears, law enforcement tactics, and the modern understanding of serial killers. To this day, it is considered one of the most disturbing and consequential serial-murder cases in American history.
