Peacock is diving deep into one of the most chilling crime stories in recent memory with The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets, a new three-part docuseries anchored by unprecedented access to the accused serial killer’s family and home. The series drops Tuesday, June 10.
Produced under the banner of G-Unit Film and Television—with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as executive producer—this latest true crime swing from Peacock gets inside the life and alleged crimes of Rex Heuermann, the Manhattan architect charged with multiple murders connected to the Long Island killings.
Unlike prior retellings of the Gilgo Beach case, House of Secrets brings the story into the killer’s living room—literally. The production secured on-camera interviews with Heuermann’s wife, children, and friends, opening a rare window into the personal world of a man accused of hiding his predatory behavior behind the façade of suburban normalcy.
The docuseries also revisits the lives of the victims, reframing the story through both investigative lenses and intimate personal accounts. Jared P. Scott, who directs all three episodes, steers the series through the investigative timeline that led to Heuermann’s arrest while interweaving the emotional fallout experienced by his family and the wider Long Island community.
Also on the EP roster are David Karabinas, Troy Searer, Colleen Hall, Jamie Lustberg, Melissa G. Moore, Jared P. Scott, and Brad Bernstein. Production is a joint effort from G-Unit, Texas Crew Productions, and New York Post Entertainment—a familiar trio for audiences who track the increasingly competitive space of prestige true crime content.
With streaming platforms locked in a race for exclusives in the genre, House of Secrets signals Peacock’s continued commitment to event-level nonfiction built around high-profile cases. The Gilgo Beach murders, unsolved for over a decade, captured national attention with their proximity to New York City and the sense of law enforcement frustration they generated. This new series aims to offer closure—or at least deeper clarity.
