Death Cap: The Mushroom Murders, Season 1

A seemingly ordinary family lunch becomes a global media story when four guests fall critically ill, with three later dying. As the world press descends on the small country town of Korumburra, the deaths become a tragic cultural touchstone with wild theories and speculation running rampant. When the host, Erin Patterson, is arrested and charged with triple homicide, the alleged causes of death are poisoning by the world's most lethal mushroom, the death cap. With exclusive access into one of the highest profile criminal cases in modern memory, the documentary series DEATH CAP explores how one tragic lunch may shatter the myth of small-town security in Australia, while examining the fairness of a trial amidst a global media frenzy.
