Every episode released so far can be binged in one go.
A chilling police series perfect for fans of 24 Hours in Police Custody makes viewers "sick" as a new episode returned to television screens this week.
Major Crimes Unit previously gripped viewers with brand new episodes, but that came to an end last month and was replaced this week on television screens. But Channel 5 aired a gripping replacement that all true crime fans will not want to miss.
Murder Suspect No.1 was first released in 2025 and instantly became a hit with true crime fanatics who crowned the show as being "as good as 24 Hours in Police Custody".

Following top homicide teams, the series plunges viewers into the inner workings of police forces as violent murder investigations unfold, with viewers watching as detectives work against the clock for justice.
On Monday (November 2), a chilling new episode – which marked the second episode in Series 2 – aired on Channel 5 at 9pm as it explored one man's harrowing confession and a challenging murder investigation.
Channel 5 teased: "A man walking along the hard shoulder of the M40 confesses to murder; police discover a woman dead at her home in Havant; and detectives must prove what happened when their suspect refuses to talk."
The new episode came after a lengthy wait for viewers as the last new instalment was released earlier this year. But in bad news for fans, Murder Suspect No.1 is not on the television schedules next week, and it is not yet known when a new episode will air.
In the meantime though, fans can binge watch every episode so far, all free of charge. Here's everything you need to know about the gripping series that continues to bring in high praise.

There are currently seven episodes of Murder Suspect No.1 that have so far been released since it first hit screens last year. It's not yet known when, or if, new episodes will air on Channel 5, but in good news for fans, every episode can be streamed online.
Viewers can catch all episodes on Channel 5 online for free as instalments include a brutal axe attack as well as a one punch murder.
From the first 999 call to the final courtroom verdict, the series place viewers deep inside the investigation, as officers piece together the evidence, challenge suspects in interview and race to uncover the truth. Channel 5 has teased: "We follow top homicide teams as a series of violent murder investigations unfold."
The latest instalment once again horrified fans as one true crime fan took to social media to say: "Wow, what a horrific way to die. Honestly, that was absolutely evil what he'd done to her." They later added: "Be prepared."
One person commented: "Wasn't it horrendous", as another echoed: "Was absolutely brutal." A third added: "I literally nearly threw up thinking what she went through."
The newest episode isn't the only one leaving its imprint on Channel 5 viewers as previously, watchers admitted they were left feeling "sick" after brutal scenes.
