Buried in the Backyard returns to Oxygen True Crime on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at 8 PM ET/PT with a two-hour premiere to open Season 6. The long-running series continues to investigate real-life cases where victims are hidden in plain sight, with killers relying on isolation, geography, or panic to conceal the truth.
This season opens with a double murder in North Carolina, then shifts to the case of a Michigan mother who vanished without a trace. Later episodes follow the disappearance of a Phoenix realtor and the grim discovery of a 20-year-old artist found dead inside a suitcase. Each case builds on the show’s pattern of focusing on seemingly ordinary people whose lives were stolen in shocking ways.
Themed episodes return as part of the format. Titles like “Buried in the Woods,” “Buried in the Sand,” and “Buried in the Snow” hint at the physical and emotional landscapes tied to each crime. These aren’t just settings. They’re part of how the perpetrators thought they could escape justice.
Produced by Renegade 83, a division of Lionsgate Alternative Television, the series remains anchored in its forensic detail and emotional storytelling. Executive producers David Garfinkle, Jay Renfroe, Bob Kusbit, and Billie Speer return, with Bobby Munster as co-executive producer.
The show’s ongoing appeal comes from its clear focus. It doesn’t just solve crimes. It strips back the lies used to cover them. Season 6 continues to feature interviews with investigators, family members, and survivors who help piece together what happened and how each case was cracked.
Buried in the Backyard Season 6 premieres Saturday, July 12, 2025, on Oxygen True Crime.
