EXCLUSIVE: Crime 101 producer Raw and New Yorker Studios are teaming on a limited series exploring new evidence in the notorious White House Farm killings. 
The as-yet-untitled show comes from showrunner Emilia di Girolamo (Deceit, Three Pines) and will take in new evidence uncovered by New Yorker writer Heidi Blake in 2024 that could overturn Jeremy Bamber‘s conviction after 40 years. 
Casting is still to come and we are told Raw is in talks with several broadcasters. 
In 1985, Bamber’s adoptive parents Nevill and June Bamber, his sister Sheila Cafell, and her six-year-old twin sons, Daniel and Nicholas were all found dead in their home at the now well-known White House Farm. 
Bamber was arrested and imprisoned a year later but has always maintained his innocence. 
The killings were explored in an ITV series in 2020, in which Bamber was played by Jeremy Fox and the investigating officer by Stephen Graham, but since then more has come to light. 
In the 2024 New Yorker investigation, Blake uncovered fresh evidence. 
The following year, she built on her reporting with audio series Blood Relatives from the Pulitzer Prize-winning podcast In the Dark, which drew on hundreds of thousands of evidence files, most of which were unknown to the jury at the time of Bamber’s trial. 
If exonerated, Bamber will be victim of the longest-running wrongful imprisonment for a miscarriage of justice in English legal history. 
Di Girolamo is currently adapting Alice Feeney’s latest thriller My Husband’s Wife for Carnival and is attached to adapt hit RTÉ podcast Finding Samantha, about international con-woman Samantha Azzopardi for Keeper Pictures.   
Raw has made numerous hit documentaries like The Tinder Swindler and Don't F**k with Cats but has recently been pushing more into scripted with the likes of Chris Hemsworth-starring Crime 101. 
“If you think you know this story, think again,” said di Girolamo. 
“Heidi Blake’s brilliant journalism uncovered shocking new evidence that seriously undermines the safety of Jeremy’s conviction. 
We won’t be telling the same story that has been recycled in countless true-crime books, documentaries and TV dramatisations. This is a story of police incompetence, judicial indifference, fearless journalism, a dedicated campaign team, and one man’s 41-year fight for freedom.” 
Executive producers on the project are Sam Tipper-Hale, Dimitri Doganis, Helen Estabrook, Sarah Patzer, Blake and di Girolamo.
