Hulu premiered the fourth season of the true-crime docuseries "Betrayal: Dirty Secrets" on Tuesday, Aug. 4 [2].
The series launch marks the continuation of a popular true-crime franchise that adapts stories from the Betrayal podcast. By focusing on the alleged double life of a former police officer, the show examines the systemic impact of deception within law enforcement families.
Hosted by Andrea Gunning and Karoline Borega, the new season consists of three episodes [1]. The narrative focuses on the details surrounding an ex-cop's secret activities and the subsequent destruction of his family unit.
Viewers in the U.S. can access the series via Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ [3]. The premiere occurred Tuesday morning, bringing the podcast-based investigations to a streaming audience.
The series follows the established format of the franchise, utilizing investigative journalism to uncover hidden truths. This season specifically targets the intersection of professional authority and personal betrayal, detailing how a position of public trust can mask a clandestine private life.
Because the show is based on the Betrayal podcast, it bridges the gap between audio storytelling and visual documentary. The three-part structure allows the hosts to build the mystery of the ex-officer's life across a condensed timeline [1].
“Season 4 consists of three episodes”
The expansion of the 'Betrayal' brand from podcast to a multi-season streaming series on Hulu demonstrates the high market demand for serialized true-crime content. By focusing on a former law enforcement officer, the series taps into contemporary public interest regarding police accountability and the psychological complexity of double lives.
