‘Love, Ted Bundy’ Documentary Takes a Different Approach to Bundy’s Story

Oxygen has set a February 15, 2026 premiere date for the true crime documentary Love, Ted Bundy. The prolific serial killer’s story has been told multiple times since his arrest in 1975. However, Oxygen’s new original documentary focuses on Edna Martin, an interesting figure in Bundy’s tale who has remained in the background for 50 years.

Christopher Cassel directed the documentary and serves as an executive producer along with Joseph Freed and Allison Berkley.

“As America’s most notorious serial killer Ted Bundy awaited execution, he exchanged a series of death row letters with the woman who loved him like a brother—his cousin, Edna Martin,” reads Oxygen’s synopsis. “For fifty years, Edna concealed her identity, desperate to protect her family from public scrutiny. Now, she is finally ready to tell her story and reveal her deeply personal collection of letters for the first time in Love, Ted Bundy.

Through exclusive photographs and first-time interviews with family and friends, Edna reveals stories about her cousin only she can tell. Love, Ted Bundy offers an intimate and unsettling portrait of one of America’s most notorious serial killers through the eyes of someone who believed she truly knew him.”
