Sunny Hostin (sunny) on taking a different approach to true crime with 'The Truth About Murder'
's Sunny Hostin is equally known for her tell-it-like-it-is attitude as she is for her empathetic approach to discussing important topics with her interview subjects. She flexes the latter skill on her new Investigation Discovery series,Sidestepping the blueprint for most true crime reenactment shows, Hostin — who serves as both host and executive producer — is highlighting the stories of victims and their loved ones, rather than trying to get inside the minds of cold-blooded killers.
Hostin — who, during her tenure as a prosecutor, specialized in child sex crimes — added, "It was harder than I thought it would be. I was a prosecutor for a pretty long time, but this felt different." As executive producer, it was up to Hostin to find the stories she wanted to tell and then narrow them down to six episodes. During this process, she said that inclusivity was closely considered. "That was really important to me. I wanted to talk about people of color, I wanted to talk about women and I wanted to explore the LGBTQ community," Hostin explained. "I looked for cases like that because those stories are too often not told. I looked for them and they were everywhere.
