A magazine dedicated to crime dramas such as Sherlock, True Detective and Fargo is to be launched next month.
Crime Scene will be published quarterly by Future, the company behind Total Film, SFX and GamesRadar+. The firm said it would cover TV crime drama, as well as novels from authors such as Ian Rankin and James Ellroy.
“The crime drama genre couldn’t be hotter right now so it’s an exciting time to be launching a glossy magazine celebrating everything that makes it so compelling,” said Rosie Fletcher, the magazine’s editor.
“Featuring named contributors and some of the best writers in the industry, Crime Scene is a passionate, in depth look at one of the most fascinating genres around.”
The publisher said that sales of crime fiction in the UK reached nearly £200m in the last two years, thereby overtaking the celebrity biography, as well as the romance and food genres.
