The Essex Millionaire Murders: Series Premiere (ITV1, Monday, April 28, 2025)

Police True Crime

ITV1 is set to air a gripping new true crime series exploring a case packed with secrets, betrayal, and shocking twists: “The Essex Millionaire Murders.” Starting this Monday, the series looks into the events surrounding the deaths of Carol and Stephen Baxter, a wealthy couple discovered in their Essex home on Mersea Island on Easter Sunday last year.

What first seemed like a tragic accident took a much darker turn when toxicology reports showed the Baxters had been poisoned with Fentanyl. That discovery, along with a mysterious will and no signs of a struggle at the scene, led police to suspect murder and focus their investigation on those closest to the couple.

“The Essex Millionaire Murders” premieres Monday, April 28th at 9:00 PM GMT on ITV1.
