Get ready for one of Hulu’s most gripping true-crime docuseries of the year. Stalking Samantha: 13 Years of Terror, a harrowing three-part series from ABC News Studios, premieres Tuesday, August 19, 2025, exclusively on Hulu and Hulu (Disney+ bundle).
A Real-Life Nightmare
The series follows Samantha Stites, a former college freshman, whose life was shattered when her obsessive stalker, Christopher Thomas, escalated from relentless harassment to abduction—locking her in a soundproof bunker inside a Michigan storage unit. Samantha recounts her escape and the difficult choices that saved her life.
What’s Inside the Docuseries
- Featuring never-before-seen content: police interviews, surveillance footage, and recovered phone evidence that build the spine-chilling narrative.
- Includes powerful interviews with Samantha’s friends, investigators, and legal experts who helped bring Christopher to justice.
- Produced by Bigger Bang and executive produced by ABC News Studios’ Beth Hoppe, David Sloan, and Iain Riddick.
Release Details & Streaming Info
The full series drops on August 19, 2025 — immediately available to stream on Hulu and through the Hulu (Disney+) bundle. Each of the three episodes is released simultaneously. While there’s no confirmed international Disney+ release yet, it’s likely to follow later this year.
Why This Series Stands Out
Beyond standard true-crime fare, Stalking Samantha offers an insider’s perspective on resilience and the legal hurdles faced by stalking victims. Samantha’s brave decision to speak out and share her story is both a message and a warning. This series underscores the importance of early intervention and survivor advocacy.
