Investigation Discovery has unveiled an Aaron Hernandez Special for Murder Under the Friday Night Lights as Jason Sarlanis talks Netflix and budgets.

Sarlanis said the investigation “reveals the disturbing connections between Hernandez and two other murderers from his high school football team, exposing deeper issues in their upbringing that may have influenced their paths.” Featuring cases from across the country with first-hand accounts from those who knew these crimes, each episode of Murder Under the Friday Night Lights shows how an off-the-field tragedy can have ramifications that tarnish the beloved sport.
