Here’s the trailer:

 

Trailer: Netflix to debut Dirty John on Valentine’s Day

19th January 2019

“I’m trying to find somebody who’s a good person…” That’s the sound of Debra Newell finding a man who’s anything but in Dirty John, Netflix’s new true crime series.

From Bravo, the anthology is based on the articles and breakout true crime podcast of the same name from Los Angeles Times reporter Christopher Goffard, which begins with the story of “Dirty” John Meehan and his relationship with Debra Newell. John is a handsome and romantic doctor, who sweeps Debra off her feet, but pulls her into a web of lies, denial and survival.

Connie Britton stars as Newell, opposite Eric Bana as Meehan.

The scripted series, which has been commissioned for two seasons, is executive produced and written by Alexandra Cunningham (Chance, Desperate Housewives), and premiered on Bravo in the US last November. Before then, Netflix snapped up the international rights, and will premiere the show in the UK, as well as releasing it online in the US.

Described by the streaming service as “sexy, provocative and harrowing”, the real-life thriller will join the recently released You, a darkly twisted story of a stalker romance that has become a smash hit – it is currently on course to be watched by over 40 million Netflix accounts in its first month. Dirty John lands on Netflix, appropriately enough, on 14th February 2019.

Here’s the trailer:

 

Dirty John is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.
