Oxygen True Crime, the home for high-quality crime programming, will debut the sixth season of Buried in the Backyard on Saturday, July 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT with a two-hour premiere.

Buried in the Backyard unearths the tragic stories of ordinary people fallen prey to unthinkable crimes – dark deeds left hidden and concealed by the perpetrator, hoping to never to be discovered. This season explores the complex investigations of unsuspecting victims who’ve crossed paths with a killer, delving into the disturbed minds who would stop at nothing to bury the truth. From the bleak silence of snow-covered ground to the searing isolation of sun-scorched sand, from the lightless depths of the woods to the quiet menace of the average backyard, these are the places where the darkest crimes occur, hidden just beneath the surface.

Buried in the Backyard is produced by Renegade 83, a division of Lionsgate Alternative Television, with David Garfinkle, Jay Renfroe, Bob Kusbit, and Billie Speer serving as executive producers. Bobby Munster will co-executive produce.
