Today, SkyShowtime has announced the new SkyShowtime Original documentary series A Recipe for Murder, which examines one of the most shocking and bizarre murder cases that made headlines around the world in 2023, is set to premiere on 23 February – three episodes will drop across all of SkyShowtime’s 20+ markets with weekly episodes to follow.
A Recipe for Murder is a compelling documentary series that chronicles the violent death of Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta on a tranquil Thai island, at the hands of Daniel Sancho, a 29-year-old aspiring chef known for his YouTube videos.
Sancho, the son of one of Spain’s most well-known actors, Rodolfo Sancho, was tried and convicted to life imprisonment in a Thai court in the summer of 2024. In spite of the trial being covered extensively by the world’s media, mysteries remain about the nature of the relationship between Arrieta and Sancho. The five-part series explores the truth behind not only their relationship but also the double life led by each man. While examining a toxic relationship, the shocking discovery of a dismembered body, and the investigation that followed, renowned documentary filmmaker José Gómez (11M: Terror in Madrid) shines a light on the role of the Thai legal system, the media, and even the audience itself.
A Recipe for Murder is a five-part documentary series of 30-minute episodes. It is produced by Get Me Out Productions LLC for SkyShowtime and directed by José Gómez.
A Recipe for Murder is the latest addition to SkyShowtime’s growing portfolio of original programming, with 30 SkyShowtime Originals available to members by the end of 2025.
