Plot Synopsis

Executive produced by Dakota and Elle Fanning, showrunner Dani Sloane, and director Abby Fuller, MASTERMIND: TO THINK LIKE A KILLER is a three-part documentary that follows psychiatric nurse and professor Dr. Ann Burgess, who must first learn to think like a serial killer to be able to stop them. With unprecedented access to the mastermind behind the development of modern serial-killer profiling, the series tells Burgess' tenacious story and her compassion for victims which puts her at the center of America's most infamous true-crime cases. From the widely known Ed Kemper and Ted Bundy to lesser-known cases like the Ski Mask Rapist, Burgess investigates and studies the damaged psyches of victims and their attackers, putting two halves of the same story together to catch a killer. Largely an unsung heroine until now, Dr. Burgess impacted not only the FBI, she also radically championed the plight of women in America. All three episodes of MASTERMIND: TO THINK LIKE A KILLER dropped on Thursday, July 11, 2024 on Hulu.
