For over a decade, a chilling shadow hung over Gilgo Beach, sparked by the mysterious 2010 disappearance of Shannan Gilbert. Sky Crime’s gripping new three-part docuseries, Terror on Long Island, plunges viewers into the heart-wrenching investigation that unearthed a serial killer’s dumping ground.
Produced by Peninsula Television, this definitive series pieces together the tortuous hunt for answers through raw, exclusive interviews with devastated families, dogged investigators, and forensic specialists. It chronicles a grueling journey of systemic roadblocks and sudden breakthroughs, culminating in the historic 2026 sentencing of Rex Heuermann.
It is a haunting, deeply empathetic look at the victims who were nearly forgotten and the relentless pursuit of justice that finally brought a monster to light.
David Harvey, Executive Producer of Terror on Long Island, said:
“This series delivers a gripping, immersive look at a case that captured global attention. Featuring unexpected twists and compelling investigative storytelling, Terror on Long Island is set to be essential viewing for true crime audiences.”
Jonathan Ford, Managing Director, Sphere Abacus, adds:
“We are delighted to add another of Peninsula’s high-profile, true crime series to our catalogue. Stories centred on real people continue to captivate audiences around the world, and demand for compelling factual content remains strong.”
Sphere Abacus is distributing the series globally.
