A person dressed as a clown committed murder back in 1990, but was the right person charged with the crime? SundanceTV’s The Killer Clown: Murder on the Doorstep documentary series dives into the case, complete with interviews with key players, including investigators, Marlene’s son, defense attorneys, and the prosecutor.

The three-part docuseries will premiere on Thursday, June 5, 2025 at 10pm Et/Pt on SundanceTV as well as Sundance Now and AMC+. Untold‘s Ellie Merz directed and produced the series, and Colleen Flynn, BossaNova Media’s Paul Heaney, and Sky’s Emily-Jayne Wilde and Jack Oliver served as executive producers.

SundanceTV released this description: “The series chronicles the jaw-dropping true story behind the murder of Florida resident Marlene Warren, a young wife and mother, who was brutally gunned down on her own doorstep by a person dressed as a clown.

The shocking and eerie limited true crime docuseries The Killer Clown: Murder on the Doorstep is set to premiere on Thursday, June 5 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt on SundanceTV and will also be available as a full-series binge on Sundance Now and AMC+ the same day.

Airing weekly on SundanceTV, the series chronicles the jaw-dropping true story behind the murder of Florida resident Marlene Warren, a young wife and mother, who was brutally gunned down on her own doorstep by a person dressed as a clown.

With rumors of infidelity and an unhappy marriage, Marlene’s husband, Michael Warren, emerges as the prime suspect, but with a solid alibi, detectives can’t prove his involvement, and the case goes cold.

Three decades later, there’s a shocking twist – Michael’s alleged mistress Sheila Keen is arrested for Marlene’s murder, accused of donning the clown disguise. In May 2023, Sheila pleaded guilty just before trial.

On January 15, 1981, NBC premiered the police drama Hill Street Blues, which went on to air for seven seasons and collect 26 Emmy Awards wins during its run. The Hollywood Reporter’s original review of the show’s early episodes is below:

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Hill Street Blues lost the cutting edge that prompted the critics to rave and the Emmys to flow — and the ratings picked up? Now ensconced in a Thursday night position opposite 20/20 on ABC and movies on CBS, the second season debut of Hill Street, directed by supervising producer Greg Hoblit, still has the qualities and quality that made critics wax effusive, and which apparently turned a lot of viewers off.

For first-time viewers, the carnival of characters which gives the series its richness for addicts such as this viewer, may seem initially confusing. The structure is still the bits-and-pieces-flow-of-events unfolding over the course...

Before she met Cash Warren in 2004, Jessica Alba was in a three-year relationship with Michael Weatherly. Alba and Weatherly worked on James Cameron’s 2000 series Dark Angel. As their characters began to fall for each other in the show, Alba and the NCIS actor also started dating in real life. However, they ended their relationship in 2003, calling off their engagement.

During a 2010 interview, Weatherly recalled his relationship with Alba when explaining the workplace relationship between the characters of his show NCIS, Tony and Ziva. It proved that the romance with Alba was one he didn’t forget, despite both of them being married to other people at the time.

Jaleel White played Steve Urkel in the ABC sitcom Family Matters for nine seasons, but don’t expect the actor to revisit the role if it’s just a “cash grab.”

In a new interview, White revealed that he shot down reprising his role of the annoying next-door neighbor in a possible reboot of the sitcom that was part of the Tgif block of programming.

“I embrace the Tgif legacy, but I’m also careful to acknowledge that Tgif was a sinking ship, and you cannot make shows like that right now,” White said on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live. “I feel like [Fuller House] got away with it because they have a schmaltzy, kind of vanilla thing that they do that’s very Hallmarkish to be quite honest and it benefits Candace [Cameron Bure] and that’s wonderful, but I just didn’t feel like we could get away with that same brand of humor.

Many classic sitcoms from years past have been revived with new sequel shows, but don't expect Family Matters to get the same treatment. Jaleel White, who rose to fame as the former child star who played breakout character Steve Urkel, has explained why it's better to leave Family Matters back in the past as a product of its time.

Per People, the actor commented on a possible revival while speaking to fans during his "The Evolution of Jaleel White" panel at 90s Con 2024. He explained that while he loves Family Matters, he's just not confident in a potential revival's prospects of success. Part of that has to do with losing some cast members who've since passed away, including Michelle Thomas in 1998 and Rosetta LeNoire in 2002. White also feels that a show about Urkel as a happily married adult wouldn't be as intriguing as following the character when he was younger and faced more challenges.

Jessica Alba recalled playing the role of Sue Storm in the 2005 film Fantastic Four in a recent interview. While many believed that Alba was done with the role after her nightmare experience in the film and its sequel, the actress shared that she would jump at the chance to return. Alba’s revelation has got some fans excited for the return of the original cast.

On May 24, 2024, ABC’s “20/20” presents a gripping tale of a chilling murder case that shook an affluent southern Florida suburb. In May 1990, Marlene Warren opened her door to a clown bearing balloons and flowers, only to be shot at point-blank range. The prime suspect was initially her husband, Michael Warren, but with a solid alibi, investigators hit a dead end. It took 33 years of relentless pursuit to crack the case.

“20/20” delves into this decades-long saga, exploring the twists and turns that ultimately led to justice. Interviews with key figures, including the victim’s son, Joe Ahrens, offer intimate insights into the profound impact of the murder on their lives. Additionally, the program features discussions with Sheila Keen-Warren’s defense attorney, Greg Rosenfeld, shedding light on the legal battles surrounding the case.

At 9pm, CBS rebroadcasts “48 Hours: Melissa Turner’s Closing Act“.

In May 1990, Marlene Warren opened her Florida home’s door to a clown who presented her with balloons and flowers, only to be shot dead instantly while her 21-year-old son, Joe Aherns, witnessed the horrifying event. In “Murder by Clown,” which airs on Saturday, October 28 (10:00-11:00 Pm) on the CBS Television Network and streams on Paramount+, Joe Aherns shares his experience with 48 Hours correspondent Peter Van Sant.

Aherns recounts, “That was the worst day of my life. We were eating breakfast; we saw the colors of the reflections through the glass. It looked like a clown costume. My mother opened the door and I heard ‘How, how pretty,’ and heard [a] bang and I saw her fall.”

After the shooting, the clown calmly returned to a car and drove away. The crime initially appeared to be a perfect one,...

Chris Redfield actor Charlie Kraslavsky is certainly putting his fame with Resident Evil fans to good use.

With the merge imminent on “Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains,” the remaining contestants are about to enter the second half of the game in Samoa. But before we get to Jonathan Lapaglia‘s long-awaited “Drop your buffs” moment, we want to know who You think is playing the best pre-merge game? Are you feeling the love for a certain heroic personality, or can you not get enough of one particular villainous character? Vote in our poll below.

As of this writing, there are still 13 castaways left in the game: eight original Heroes and five original Villains. However, the players are all intermingled at this point thanks to various twists, including Gerry Geltch being voted onto the opposing tribe, an official tribe swap at an auction, and Elizaveta “Liz” Parnov choosing to mutiny. Get a refresher on the complete “Australian Survivor” cast in our photo gallery above (or click here for...

The premiere episode of “Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains” ended with a shocking tribal council in which the Villains truly lived up to their name. To recap, two of their 12 tribe members, Jackie Glazier from “Champions vs. Contenders” (2018) and George Mladenov from “Brains V Brawn,” ended up getting seriously injured in the immunity challenge. They were both sent to the hospital, where they would be able to remain for 24 hours, per the show’s rules, before being permanently removed.

After the Villains tribe lost the challenge and attended tribal council, host Jonathan Lapaglia had them vote as usual, without announcing Jackie or George’s conditions. The votes were cast and then Jonathan revealed that Jackie’s fractured collarbone was too serious for her to remain on the island, so she was officially out. George’s injury was less severe, though he would still be kept overnight at the infirmary as they monitored him.

The rumors are true. Sandra Diaz-Twine‘s daughter Alanna “Nina” Twine is back when “Australian Survivor” returns for its 10th season on Network 10. The iconic duo played together last year on “Blood V Water,” but Nina had to be medevaced when she hurt her ankle. Now, the show is producing a “Heroes V Villains” installment with Nina on the Heroes tribe (Queen Sandra is not participating). Scroll through our gallery above (or click here for direct access) to see the “Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains” cast photos for all 24 participants.

This “Heroes V Villains” installment is scheduled to premiere on January 30, 2023, with 11 returning players and 13 new castaways divided into two tribes based on how they live their lives or how they previously played the game, either as Heroes or Villains. It’s based on the popular 20th season of the American version of the show, which Villains tribe member Sandra ultimately won.

As Primetime Emmy anomalies go, the 1982 Best Drama Supporting Actor lineup stands out as one of the most noteworthy. For the first and only time in any category, every nominee was a cast member on the same program, namely the police procedural “Hill Street Blues.” The five contenders – Taurean Blaque, Michael Conrad, Charles Haid, Michael Warren, and Bruce Weitz – ranged in age from 36 to 56, with their characters varying in rank from officer to sergeant. Conrad, the eldest, was ultimately chosen as the victor for the second year in a row.

“Hill Street Blues” also achieved its second of four consecutive Best Drama Series victories in 1982, along with wins for Best Actor (Daniel J. Travanti) and Best Writing. Conrad, who was originally the third oldest man to prevail in his category, has since been surpassed by seven others, five of whom were over 70.

Since 1959, a total of 39 actors have won for...

Taurean Blacque, best known for his role on the hit 1980s NBC drama “Hill Street Blues,” died Thursday at the age of 82, his son Rodney Middleton announced on Facebook.

In his post, Middleton shared photos of his father in character as Washington, with his trademark newsboy cap and toothpick-bearing grin. He wrote in the caption, “Thank you all for your prayers, calls and texts to me and my family. My father pass[ed] away today At 2:52 pm est.”

Blacque was one of the few regulars who stayed with the Steven Bochco and Michael Kozoll series for its entire run. In 1982, he earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. It was a landmark year for “Hill Street Blues,” which also saw nominations for Michael Conrad, Michael Warren, Bruce Weitz, Charles Haid in the supporting category, with Conrad taking homing the Emmy for his role as Sgt.

Taurean Blacque, beloved for his role of Detective Neal Washington on “Hill Street Blues,” has died. He was 82 years old.

Blacque died Thursday according to his son Rodney’s Facebook post. He died in Atlanta following a brief illness, according to reports.

For all seven seasons of the popular NBC cop show, Blacque starred alongside Michael Warren, Daniel J. Travanti, Charles Haid, Michael Conrad and Bruce Weitz in “Hill Street Blues.” The show ran from 1981-1987 and garnered Blacque an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series in 1982. In fact, the category that year was owned by “Hill Street Blues,” which saw all five nominees coming from the show created by Steven Bochco and Michael Kozoll. The other four nominees were Warren, Haid, Conrad and Weitz.

Blacque’s character of Detective Neal Washington was a respected yet stern veteran cop known from his trademark toothpick and cap.

Taurean Blacque, who portrayed the streetwise Det. Neal Washington on all seven seasons of the acclaimed NBC cop show Hill Street Blues, died Thursday in Atlanta following a brief illness, his family announced. He was 82.

From 1989-90, Blacque played Henry Marshall opposite Vivica A. Fox and others as an original castmember on the NBC daytime soap opera Generations, the first serial to include — from the start — a Black family as part of the main storyline. His character owned ice cream parlors in Chicago.

In 1982, Blacque received a supporting actor Emmy nomination for his work as the toothpick-dependent Washington on Hill Street but lost out to co-star Michael Conrad. Amazingly, the other three nominees — Charles Haid, Michael Warren and Bruce Weitz — also came from the 1981-87 series, created by Steven Bochco and Michael Kozoll.

Bochco and producer-director Gregory Hoblit chose Blacque to say “Previously...

In the lead-up to this year’s Emmy nominations, most pundits expected the HBO anthology series “The White Lotus” to pick up multiple acting bids, but almost none were bold enough to predict its eventual haul of eight. Nearly every member of the first season’s ensemble cast has a shot at the gold, with Murray Bartlett, Jake Lacy, and Steve Zahn competing in the Best TV Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor category and Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario, Natasha Rothwell, and Sydney Sweeney taking up all but two spots in the corresponding female lineup.

Although 15 other limited programs have amassed at least three featured male notices apiece, “The White Lotus” is the first to net more than three supporting actress bids. Furthermore, it stands as one of only three live action shows of any genre to receive five same-year nominations in a single primetime acting category. This is...

Emmy voters certainly didn’t spread the wealth around with the 2022 nominations. Five of the seven supporting actress in a limited series or TV movie went to HBO’s “The White Lotus.” Four of the six guest actor in a drama series noms were nabbed by HBO’s “Succession.” And HBO Max’s “Hacks” scored four of the six guest actress in a comedy series nominations.

But multiple nominations in one category isn’t anything new in the Emmy universe. In fact, Emmy history was made 40 years ago when NBC’s landmark police procedural drama “Hill Street Blues” earned all five nominations for supporting actor in a drama series. Michael Conrad won his second consecutive Emmy as Sgt. Phil Esterhaus, who would end the morning roll call meetings with “Let’s be careful out there.” Conrad faced competition from the series’ Taurean Blacque, Charles Haid, Michael Warren and Bruce Weitz.

It was a night of record-making firsts and honoring legends from Hollywood’s Golden Era. John Forsythe and Marlo Thomas hosted the 34th Primetime Emmy Awards on ABC on September 19, 1982 — before cable TV and streaming services took over and network TV still ruled the small screen. Read on for our Emmys flashback 40 years ago to 1982.

One of the most celebrated dramas of all time set new records and dominated the acting categories. “Hill Street Blues” received 16 major nominations, breaking the two-decade record of 14 for “Playhouse 90” in 1959. It’s also the first series to receive nine acting noms in one ceremony. It would end the evening tied with “Fame” for the most wins with four, including Best Drama Series, a writing win (it received four out of the five bids in that category) and two acting trophies.

Exclusive: More than three years ago, Netflix successfully opened a new area of original programming, the family sitcom, with a reboot of Warner Bros TV’s Tgif comedy Full House. The sequel series was a breakout hit, tapping into nostalgia for those who had grown up with the original series while also drawing a new generation of viewers.

That success was probably not lost on WarnerMedia executives as they are prepping the launch of a streaming platform to rival Netflix and have been discussing with Warner Bros TV brass library titles they can exploit for the new service.

I hear the WarnerMedia streamer is eyeing reboots of other Wbtv-produced classic Tgif comedies, like Step by Step, Perfect Strangers, its spinoff Family Matters, as well as Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper. Sources stressed that talks are in exploratory stages, and it’s unclear whether any of the potential revivals would come to fruition,...

Last year “The Handmaid’s Tale” won eight Emmys and had three of its actresses take home trophies in various categories. Elisabeth Moss won Best Drama Actress, Ann Dowd took Best Drama Supporting Actress and Alexis Bledel won Best Drama Guest Actress.

Graceland ended its third season on USA in September, and it was announced a few days later that the series was cancelled. There would not be a fourth season. Tveit was star of that series in the role of Mike Warren.

Brain Dead will join CBS' Summer 2016 line-up. With the cancellation of Extant and the end of Under The Dome, CBS had some slots to fill. Brain Dead will join Zoo and Big Brother on the network.

TV Insider revealed a bit about Tveit's character on the series. He will play a character named Gareth,...

It ain’t easy living in Graceland.

Just last week on the USA Network drama, de facto team leader Paul Briggs (played by Daniel Sunjata) was shot in the leg by one roommate and slugged by another, after his Machiavellian manipulations and super-secretive ruses put his pals in jeopardy again and again.

Briggs is even at the root of comparatively mild-mannered Dale Jakes’ (Brandon Jay McLaren) new dilemma, seeing as the Ice agent “peeled off” some greenbacks during his latest bust, to serve as “get gone” money should “sin eater” Briggs need it.

After everything she's been through, and everything she's done, Paige Arkin is making a change.

In the "Graceland" Season 3 premiere last week, she announced she's moving out.

Since the middle of Season 2, when Serinda Swan's character got involved in tackling the sex trafficking ring, the case took her further away from the team, and especially Mike Warren (Aaron Tveit), who was also working the case. Turning Mike's hospital details over to Sid though, after she found out Mike lied about what happened to Lina (the young woman forced into the ring), changed everything. Mike luckily survived ...

It's been a long wait for Graceland fans to find out whether or not Mike Warren (Aaron Tveit) was saved after Sid killed the agent in the Season 2 finale. The situation was further complicated since it was Mike's partner and girlfriend that gave him up to Sid in the first place. 

The Graceland Season 3 premiere played with viewers' emotions for a bit by showing a gravesite scene, as well as, mentioning Mike was dead only to reveal that Mike was very much alive. Injured and recovering, but Mike Warren was saved. Well, he's alive at least.

The following contains spoilers from the Season 3 premiere of USA Network’s Graceland.

It took a couple of commercial breaks, but the Graceland Season 3 premiere eventually answered the question viewers had been left grappling with for months: Had FBI Agent Mike Warren in fact died?

As it turns out, yes, Mike did die.

But is alive.

Meaning, for some six minutes after Sid Markham fatally closed off hospitalized Mike’s oxygen supply, Mike had crossed over, only to be resuscitated by some doctors with defibrillators, after Briggs found his bud flatlining.

When Paige Arkin found out that Mike Warren had lied to her about Lina during the "Graceland" Season 2 finale, she made a shocking move.

Angry and hurt by Mike's confirmation about the sad fate that met the young girl she had previously promised to free from the sex trafficking ring, Paige went to Sid and gave him the name he needed to find her ex, who was receiving treatment in a hospital under an alias. He did, and as "Graceland" Season 2 closed out, Sid cut off Mike's air supply, and Mike flatlined before Paul Briggs arrived at ...

The root of the DEA agent’s internal conflict, of course, is the fact that it was she who directed Sid Markham to Mike Warren’s hospital bedside in the Season 2 finale. Livid about her colleague’s cover-up of Lena’s death, Paige nudged the dirty cop to “finish” what he had started during the Serrano compound massacre.

Did you see that coming? Part one of the "Dancing With the Stars" finale ended with one of the season's most surprising eliminations. Only four of our users predicted all of tonight's outcomes: MrFilmkritik, Nate, Mike Warren, and kiiwiih. -Break- Could conservative fans push Sadie Robertson to upset win on 'DWTS'? They correctly forecast the resurgence of Alfonso Ribeiro, who struggled last week after injuring himself, but was able to deliver two perfect dances in a row this week: the first a reprise of his week-one jive, and the second a showstopping freestyle number that included an homage to his tap-dancing Broadway roots. But they also foresaw the downfall of Bethany Mota. The online star came to "DWTS" as a social-media powerhouse, with as passionate following on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. She also had the benefit of pro partner Derek Hough, the show's all-time biggest champ with five previous mirror ball trophy.

Tommy Chong had the lowest score going into this week's quarterfinals on "Dancing With the Stars," but the live show opened with the announcement that Chong was safe from elimination. Judging from the reaction of him and pro partner Peta Murgatroyd, he didn't see that coming. Did you? -Break- 'DWTS' shocker: Did you predict another perfect score for Janel Parrish? Six of our users did: tonyrandall, Cordell Martin, Mike Warren, TopChefFan, dsps84, and Ryan Lapierre correctly predicted all of this week's outcomes, including the surprise elimination of Lea Thompson. She was second-to-last in the judges' scores last week, which has been one of the most perilous spots for contestants this season, while last place has been a surprise good-luck charm: stars at the bottom have only been eliminated twice. Thompson's elimination was especially surprising given where she stood in our users' predictions for the mirror ball trophy. B...

Graceland follows the “merry band of misfits” from the FBI, DEA, and Ice living together in the titular beachside mansion seized by the Government from an incarcerated drug lord. Broadway’s Aaron Tveit, famous on the Great White Way for headlining Next to Normal and Catch Me If You Can, stars as Mike Warren, a fresh agent right out of Quantico. With top scores, bested only by his new training officer and de facto King of Graceland, Paul Briggs (Rescue Me’s Daniel Sunjata), Warren scurries to prove himself as an undercover operative worthy of his housemates’ respect.
