THE JURY: CHANNEL 4 SUMMONS FOURTH SERIES AHEAD OF THIRD SERIES COMING SOON

EXCLUSIVE

Channel 4 have commissioned a fourth series of The Jury: Murder Trial following its breakout success which last year saw the show win a BAFTA.

The recommission of a fourth series, which is currently in production and air on Channel 4 next year, comes ahead of the third series expected this Autumn. Like the first series, the show will examine the jury system by recreating an entire, real murder trial from the original transcripts in front of a randomly selected jury.

Filmed over ten days, the series will take a forensic look at the inner workings of justice. The jurors will be asked to judge a real life case. Actors will recreate the trial in front of the jurors. What will the juries decide, and why?

Will they come to the same conclusion from the exact same evidence presented in the same way or will other factors play a part in their decision? How well will they follow the complexities of the law around loss of control? And after they have deliberated, will they even agree with each other’s verdicts?

The Jury: Murder Trial is available to stream now on Channel 4.
