This show takes us inside one of the most haunting and heartbreaking cases of the last decade — the story at the center of Hulu’s new 3-part docuseries Friends Like These: The Murder of Skylar Neese. Director Claire Titley joins us to discuss how she approached this complex, deeply emotional narrative with sensitivity, nuance, and a focus on the real young woman. We’re also honored to be joined by Eric Finch, a close friend of Skylar’s, who offers a personal perspective that reminds us of the vibrant, funny, loving teenager whose life was cut far too short. His voice adds heart and humanity to a case often reduced to its shocking details. Together, Claire and Eric help us understand not just the tragedy, but the friendships, the community, and the lasting impact Skylar Neese left behind the headlines. The series premieres March 6th on HULU.
