From Variety:

HLN will develop for 2018 a five-part series called “Unmasking A Killer.” The program takes viewers inside the investigation, the case files and the mind of The Golden State Killer – a man believed to be the most prolific uncaught rapist and serial killer in the nation. The series is executive produced by Joke Fincioen and Biagio Messina of Joke Productions with supervising producer Todd Lindsey and is expected debut in the first quarter of 2018.

Fearless Interview Subjects

Company owners Joke Fincioen and Biagio Messina are extremely proud of the new series, and thankful to everyone who sat for it. Many survivors, family members of victims, and law enforcement officials bravely offered interviews.

Their haunting, insightful, and emotional testimonies make a compelling plea: It’s finally time to catch the Golden State Killer.

Everyone who sat continues to demand justice for a serial killer who has eluded the law for over forty years.

Joke Productions and Joke and Biagio are very grateful to everyone who trusted us to tell their stories.

Unique Archival

Rich archival material offers never-seen-before footage, photos, and news clips. Set against the backdrop of the seventies and eighties, the project paints a tense narrative.

Supervising producer Todd Lindsey dedicated over a decade to tracking the case. This has lead to the creation of the most in-depth documentary series ever made about the Golden State Killer.

Joke Productions was thrilled to work with the CNN/HLN originals team. Lead by Amy Entelis, Lizzie Fox, and Chanel Carmona, the team was incredibly supportive. They offered Joke Productions creative freedom and excellent advice on the road from development to finished series.

Our company is proud to join the CNN family.
