Dead of Winter is a gripping true crime series presented by Investigation Discovery that follows the investigation of various murders that occurred during winter. The show is hosted by three knowledgeable and experienced professionals in the field of crime and criminology – Cham Giobbi, Maggie Seymour, and Carol Velzy.

As winter approaches, the show’s hosts delve into the heart-wrenching stories of cold-blooded murder that have taken place during some of the coldest, darkest nights of the year. Viewers are taken through a bone-chilling journey that features the unfolding of police investigations, interviews with family and friends of the victims, and reenactments of key moments in the cases.

To begin each episode, the hosts provide a detailed account of the events that led to the murder, the victims, and often the apparent motive behind the crime. They then move on to scrutinize the investigation, digging deeper into the evidence and the profiles of potential suspects. This is often followed by interviews with the detectives who worked on the case, who reveal fascinating behind-the-scenes information and offer insights into the intricate process of criminal investigation.

One fascinating aspect of the show is its dedication to presenting the human side of these tragic stories. Viewers are immersed in the lives of the victims and their loved ones, learning about their quirks and accomplishments, and the immense loss felt by those around them. The team uses vivid reenactments and interviews to paint a picture of the murders in a way that humanizes the people involved.

Viewers are also given the opportunity to play detective as the hosts present evidence, and the circumstances surrounding the crime culminate in its solution. This show is not for the faint of heart and focuses on more gruesome crimes. The reenactments of the crime scenes are incredibly detailed and the hosts do not shy away from presenting the visceral, gruesome nature of the murders. Therefore, viewer discretion is advised.

The season is divided into various cases that took place in different parts of the world, from suburban America, Canada, the UK, Switzerland, and beyond. The unsettling thing about this show is that it forces viewers to take notice that, while winter may bring warmth and cozy moments to most people, for some it brings fear, danger and death.
