SundanceTV and Sundance Now announced today the premiere date for the new true-crime docuseries, The Furry Detectives: Unmasking A Monster.
As someone who adopted two cats and a dog and gave them their forever homes, I have a soft spot for animals and get very emotional when I learn about crimes committed against harmless creatures. After watching the first episode of Don’t F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer, I had to stop to prevent myself getting even more upset.
In a few months, a new true-crime docuseries will bring us the story of another case of animal cruelty: The Furry Detectives: Unmasking a Monster.
This four-part documentary unpacks the 2018 event known in the Furry community as the “Furry Zoosadist Leaks,” which exposed a horrifying conspiracy of animal abuse lurking beneath the Furry Fandom’s playful exterior. The series follows the pack of dedicated vigilantes who teamed up to bring down the monsters behind the masks. Navigating the line between amateur sleuthing and official police investigation, the Furry Detectives exposed a ring of animal abusers, fought for victims, and defended their community from the evil within.
The Furry Detectives: Unmasking A Monster, a Sundance Now Original Series, premieres in the US on Thursday, July 17, 10pm ET/PT, on SundanceTV, with streaming available on Sundance Now and AMC+. New episodes will drop weekly on Thursdays on all three platforms.
The series is directed and executive produced by Theo Love (The Legend of Cocaine Island). Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions (Wise Guy: David Chase & The Sopranos, Tiger) produces, with the company’s Razan Ghalayini, Richard Perello, and Taylor Rogers serving as executive producers. Julia Lindau serves as producer.
One week before the linear and streaming debut, The Furry Detectives: Unmasking A Monster will have its world premiere on Tuesday, June 10, at the Tribeca Festival, where the first two episodes will screen at AMC 19th Street East at 8:30pm ET, followed by a Q&A panel with Love and producer Julia Lindau, moderated by Jigsaw Productions’ Alex Gibney.
