The story of the Murdaugh family, one of America’s most prominent true-crime sagas, is reaching its television conclusion. The finale of Hulu‘s limited series, “Murdaugh: Death in the Family,” is set to air next week, bringing an end to the dramatic retelling of the murders that shattered a powerful legal dynasty. The eighth and final episode, titled “The Man in the Glass,” will focus on the murder trial of Alex Murdaugh.
The series, based on the popular Murdaugh Murders Podcast by journalist Mandy Matney, has chronicled the events leading to the 2021 double homicide of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. The show has explored the complex web of secrets and scandals surrounding the family, building toward the climactic courtroom confrontation.

What to Expect in the Final Episode
