"Dateline NBC" is stretching its true crime franchise into a multi-part series. (NBC via AP)NEW YORK โ After the format worked for HBO and Netflix, โDateline NBCโ is trying its own version of a multi-part true crime drama this month. โDateline NBCโ producer Dan Slepian was embedding with Las Vegas police in 2008 when Thomas Randolph was arrested for murder. Not everything โDateline NBCโ does is true crime; the show has done hours on the Capitol riot, COVID-19 vaccine development and the George Floyd case in the past year. But now, with the genre so popular, securing interviews to tell the more dramatic stories is very competitive and โDateline NBCโ has a unit assigned to that task, Corvo said.
