Hulu’s Latest True Crime Docuseries ‘The Well’ Revisits the Speed Freak Killers

Fox Entertainment's new docuseries "The Well" delves into over 200 unsolved murders in California's San Joaquin County, focusing on the notorious Speed Freak Killers duo, Wesley Shermantine and Loren Herzog. This six-part documentary, airing on Hulu, revisits the crimes committed by the American serial killer pair, who operated during the 1980s and were apprehended in 1999.

Their moniker comes from their frequent use of methamphetamine. The series follows a cold case unit led by Lieutenant Linda Jimenez, who reopened the investigation to find the remains of the victims yet to be discovered. Out of the five victims already located, the investigators remain uncertain about the total number buried. Shermantine, serving a death sentence in a prison outside Sacramento, tragically passed away in September.

The mother of one victim expresses her belief that the killer is evil and warns of his fate in hell. The six episodes of "The Well" are currently available for streaming on Hulu. This series was produced by Fox Entertainment Studios, Mountain Top Pictures, Haven Entertainment, and Fairvale Entertainment, with executive producers Rachel Witte, Michael Bott, Toby Louie, Nicolas Levene, Kevin Mann, and Mark Ankner, alongside Michael Horn as co-executive producer.

Distributed globally by Fox Entertainment Global, "The Well" offers a chilling look at the lives of the Speed Freak Killers and the unsolved cases that continue to haunt San Joaquin County.
