CHANNEL 5 FOLLOW THE HUNT FOR BRITAIN'S BEDROOM PREADTORS IN NEW FACTUAL SERIES

Channel 5 have commissioned Hunting Britain's Bedroom Predators (w/t), a 3x90' feature-length documentary series from Crackit TV, which will form part of Channel 5's primetime schedule in early 2025.

The three-parter has gained exclusive access to the Investigating Officers and assets of the National Crime Agency (NCA) and their investigations into their three biggest and most prolific online predator cases in the UK.

The feature-length films hear from victims and will detail the global hunt and eventual capture of criminals who preyed on their victims from the privacy of their bedrooms.

Elaine Hackett, CEO of Crackit TV said: "Whilst connectivity via the internet helps us in our personal and professional lives on a daily basis, it has also allowed a truly horrifying breed of criminal to thrive...

"With cyber abuse of this nature on the rise, this series will continue to raise awareness of these crimes and the kind of people carrying them out behind closed doors. Hunting Britain’s Bedroom Predators is an exclusive exploration of the National Crime Agency’s work into online predators, a crime which has unfortunately exploded in recent years."

Adrian Padmore, Commissioning Editor for Factual at Channel 5, added: "We’re constantly looking to push the boundaries with our high impact, feature length, true crime thrillers. With exclusive access to the National Crime Agency, this series goes behind closed doors in a way never done before, exploring just how easily the web of online predators can enter our world, with such disturbing consequences."

Hunting Britain's Bedroom Predators (w/t) will air on Channel 5 in 2025.
