Reality television is by no means a new genre on television, but this Sunday, ABC is giving the formula a little twist with their new series WHODUNNIT?
Contestants are set up in a house and tasked with solving a “murder.” All of the clues that are needed to solve each crime are at their disposal, but it’ll take team work to figure out what exactly went down. And for the contestants who are stuck? Well, they’re at risk of being the next “victim” whose death the group will have to piece together.
“The one thing we found from [the success of] CSI is that we all want to be detectives,” WHODUNNIT? executive producer (and CSI creator) Anthony E. Zuiker told reporters. “So [in our group of contestants] we have a CSI fan, a mother of eight, a Homeland security lawyer, kind of all walks of life. We wanted to make sure they had some special skills in terms of some crime-solving background or lawyer or police to keep it balanced. But we wanted to make sure the audience saw themselves in the characters so they could play along as they were watching. That was kind of our main objective.”
