Here’s The First Trailer For Texting Suicide Doc, ‘I Love You, Now Die'

HBO has released the trailer for its chilling new two-part docuseries, “I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth v. Michelle Carter.”

Now known as the “Texting Suicide Case,” the story of teenagers Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy is a disturbing and distinctly modern one. Roy died by suicide in 2014 at the age of 18. Eventually, it was discovered that Carter, his then 17-year-old girlfriend, had seemingly convinced him to take his own life via text message.

Watch the trailer below:

The ensuing trial and media coverage raised prickly issues over the criminality of Carter’s action, as well as about the effects of social media and mass communication on the health of society. In the end, Carter was charged with involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to at least 15-months in prison.

Based on the trailer, “I Love You, Now Die” will present an in-depth look at the actual conversations between Roy and Carter, as well as the court proceedings that led to her conviction.

The series will air on HBO back-to-back on the nights of July 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. EST. It is part of a trilogy of true crimes docs airing on HBO in July.

The documentary be followed by “Behind Closed Doors” on July 16, an investigation into the death of Aarushi Talwar, 13, and her family’s servant at their home in Noida, India, and “Who Killed Garrett Phillips?” on July 23, a look at the 2011 murder of Garrett Phillips, 12, and the trial of Oral Hillary, who had a relationship with Phillips’s mother and swiftly became a prime suspect.
