9-1-1‘s Jennifer Love Hewitt narrates Investigation Discovery’s true crime series A Killer Among Friends, premiering on July 14, 2025 at 10pm ET/PT. New episodes of the six-episode season will air on Mondays.

Jennifer Love Hewitt, soon to be seen reprising her role as Julie James in I Know What You Did Last Summer, also serves as an executive producer. “Identifying new pockets of storytelling in an innovative format has always been a passion of mine as an executive producer,” stated Jennifer Love Hewitt. “A Killer Among Friends offers a unique opportunity for me to draw from my own work as an actress, as we blend together a kaleidoscope of perspectives to tell each of these tragedies that deeply impact group dynamics and shatter beliefs.”

Additional executive producers include Julie Pizzi, Jesse Daniels, Farnaz Farjam, and Elissa Halperin. The series is produced by Bunim-Murray Productions.

“From college friend groups, close-knit classmates or high school theater troupes, A Killer Among Friends will spotlight shocking cases of betrayal, jealousy, and violence. As each individual recounts their perspective on the crime or the victim, revelations will bubble to the surface about what really went wrong, as secrets they may have held for years or memories they may have suppressed resurface,” reads ID’s synopsis. “A Killer Among Friends will showcase that each case may not be as simple as it seems—and ultimately reveal who may feel more complicit than they originally claimed.”
