Hulu has debuted the official trailer and key art for Murdaugh: Death in the Family. The eight-episode limited series premieres October 15 with three episodes, with new episodes each Wednesday, and the season finale on November 19.

In the series, Maggie and Alex enjoy a lavish life of privilege as members of one of South Carolina’s most powerful legal dynasties. But when their son Paul is involved in a deadly boat crash, the family is faced with a test unlike any they’ve ever encountered.
