A new season of the ID original “The Playboy Murders” premieres tonight, May 5, on Investigation Discovery (ID).
The docuseries, entering its third season, examines high profile murders that intersect with Playboy magazine while also exposing the pitfalls of fame that public figures often fall into.
“The Playboy Murders” is hosted by Holly Madison, a former Playboy playmate and ex-girlfriend of founder/editor-in-chief Hugh Heffner. Ahead of the season premiere, Madison spoke with The Post, calling Hefner a “master manipulator” and compared the Playboy mansion to a cult, likening it to Scientology.
“The Playboy Murders” premieres tonight, May 5, at 9 p.m. ET on Investigation Discovery (ID). It will air weekly, with new episodes coming on weekly through June 16.
