I have to admit, when the first season of The Playboy Murders premiered in 2023, I had no idea there would be enough cases to extend it to a season 3. But guess what? There are.
Holly Madison (who’s also executive producer) once again hosts the series, which returns to Investigation Discovery (ID) on May 5 at 9/8 p.m. It will also stream on Max.
Let’s check out the six episodes where murder and mystery collide within the world of the iconic adult men’s magazine.

Did you have any idea there were so many Playboy true crime connections?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
