Unveiling the Sinister Secrets: The Killer Among Us with Alan Cumming
Alan Cumming, the host of The Traitors, has hinted at an intriguing "extra twist" in the upcoming true crime series, The Killer Among Us, airing on Oxygen. Each killer in the series shares a common trait, which Alan describes as "kind of terrifying."
Set to premiere next week, The Killer Among Us will delve into shocking murders that occur within close-knit communities across the United States. These sinister crimes disrupt the peace of tight circles, including universities, small towns, and places of worship, leaving those closest to the victims stunned as they realize the suspect could be someone they know intimately.
In a recent interview with US Weekly, Alan revealed that true crime was not a popular subject during his youth. However, a particular story from his childhood in Scotland, involving a woman who disappeared after having an affair, left a lasting impression on him.
Despite the chilling nature of the series, Alan is drawn to narratives with unexpected twists, and The Killer Among Us promises just that. With the revelation that the killer is among the community from the start, viewers can expect heightened suspense and a more analytical viewing experience.
The highly anticipated premiere of The Killer Among Us is scheduled for May 17 at 7/6c on Oxygen. In the meantime, fans can catch Alan Cumming in The Traitors, available for streaming on Peacock.
