When a successful and beloved celebrity hairdresser is brutally murdered in his own backyard, it’s a case so twisted it could use detangler. And there’s only one man that’s stylish enough to walk us through it. A man whose hankies are known worldwide. A man who would never, ever wear a peeling plastic leather jacket to a memorial. The Man. The Myth. The Snark (Pretend “Snark” starts with an M). The Mank. He’s a dapper man with a Dateline plan and he’s bringing his glorious salt and pepper locks to our screens, along with the wild LA Story of THE WIDOW OF WOODLAND HILLS!

Official Description from NBCU: A teen returns home from school to find her father, a celebrity hairdresser, brutally murdered in their backyard; a neighbour's security camera helps investigators identify unlikely suspects and an illicit affair as the case captivates the country. Josh Mankiewicz reports.
