Produced by Dick Wolf’s Wolf Entertainment and ITV America’s Good Caper Content, the series delves into heart-wrenching crimes by taking a chilling look at victims’ last moments alive.

“Final Moments’ dives deep into heartbreaking crimes through the lens of real footage, pictures and the social media of our victims, giving viewers direct insight into their last moments alive,” said, Stephanie Steele, SVP of Unscripted Current Production, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “The series provides authentic investigative access that our viewers will love, in addition to a deeper emotional connection to our victims via the unforgettable final moments of their lives.”

Each hourlong episode tracks a different investigation in which law enforcement’s efforts to solve a case hinge on dissecting the victim’s final moments, using their last interactions with family and friends, surveillance footage, text messages and social media posts to build a timeline.

The series premiere follows the days leading up to 56-year-old Charles Butler’s disappearance, as he joyfully records himself walking around NYC and sends videos of his whereabouts to his children. Butler mysteriously vanishes following a night on the town with his new girlfriend. When his children receive confusing texts, they immediately know something is wrong. Police canvas the city looking for any signs of Butler, and what they find of his last moments is shocking.

In the second episode at 8:00 pm, one hot summer day, 17-year-old social media star Alexis Murphy vanishes. Investigators discover that moments after she posted her final tweet, she was captured on surveillance footage at a local gas station. Will her tweets and the newfound footage lead them to Alexis?
