What is The Watcher series about?

The Watcher is based on a true story following an article published in the 2018 New York Magazine article, The Haunting of a Dream House, by Reeves Wiedeman.

The article narrates how Derek and Maria Broaddus bought a home in June 2014.

A few weeks after purchasing their dream home, Maria and Derek began receiving anonymous letters from a person described as the Watcher.

The first letter was a friendly letter welcoming them to the neighborhood.

However, subsequent letters were gradually becoming hostile and aggressive, with emphasis on Maria and Derek's three children.

As a result of the creepy letters, The Broaddus family sought the services of local law enforcement to locate the sender of the creepy letters.
