American Crime

American Crime is a critically acclaimed anthology crime drama starring Felicity Huffman and Timothy Hutton that tackles a different criminal investigation each season.

Season 2 takes on issues of socio-economics and sexual orientation against the backdrop of two Midwestern US high schools. Season 3 will begin to air exclusively on Foxtel in March with new episodes added shortly after the US broadcast.
