Multi award winner screenplay that I have been researching and working on since December 2021, tells the dark story of 19th century serial killers Burke and Hare in Edinburgh, Scotland. It has been created as a 4 part, feature length, limited series that builds to an epic finally with cliffhangers ending each episode.
Logline: In the dark underbelly of Edinburgh 1828, Burke and Hare enter a pact as they venture on a murder spree, selling the bodies of their victims to anatomist Dr Knox, but unbeknown to them, journalist Archibald Johnson hurtles into a path of danger and intrigue that will lead him to reveal all in a city where the two worlds of rich and poor collide in a melting pot of greed, corruption and power.

Good story! I've read about Burke and Hare, and what they did. You mention it's a "four part, feature length mini-series." What do you mean by this? Is it four 30 minute episodes, or four 120 minute sections?
