Suspect: Kate McCann
Launch: Spring 2026
Directed by Paula Wittig (Black Widow, Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, Andrew: The Problem Prince), Suspect: Kate McCann (w/t) is based on official police material, documentary evidence and recorded testimony. The 90-minute film is written by award-winning British screenwriter and playwright Philip Ralph (Einstein And The Bomb, 8 Days: To The Moon And Back) and explores the period when flawed evidence against the McCanns was released to the press, changing the global media narrative and creating a false legacy on social media that persists to this day.
