New on Hulu March 17: Boston Strangler

In Hulu’s new film Boston Strangler, Keira Knightley plays reporter Loretta McLaughlin, who worked alongside her colleague Jean Cole (Carrie Coon) to reveal the identity of the Boston Strangler serial killer in the early 1960s. The pair, working for the Boston Record American, uncovered the details of the killer’s crimes and were responsible for coining the nickname the “Boston Strangler,” and not only faces sexism from their colleagues while in pursuit of the killer, they also put their lives at risk to uncover the truth.
