Insights
Exclusive true-crime series debut strengthens SalemNOW content slate but raises reputational and audience-targeting questions.
Summary of facts: SalemNOW released a new multi-episode investigative docuseries, "Prescription to Kill," hosted by Kevin Sorbo, directed by Andrew Thibault, produced with High Speed Films, LLC, and streams exclusively on SalemNOW.com. The director cites FDA records obtained via FOIA alleging links between prescription medications and acts of homicide; the series includes footage, testimony, and those records. The article notes prior testimony by Thibault before the Tennessee Senate and subsequent state legislation requiring postmortem toxicology screenings for suspected mass killers.
Implications: This is a strategic content launch that expands SalemNOW's original programming and reinforces its positioning as a conservative/Christian streaming service. Exclusive, issue-driven documentary content can increase subscriber engagement among SalemNOW's core audience and generate earned media. The series' claims and use of government records make it editorially provocative, which can boost viewership but also attract scrutiny and debate. The reference to enacted legislation provides a tangible, verifiable policy connection reported in the release, which increases the story's newsworthiness.
Operational considerations: Monitor platform metrics for sign-ups, view time, and churn to measure impact. Track media pickup and regulatory or legal responses to the series' claims. Align PR and risk-communication plans to address inquiries while preserving editorial framing. Maintain clear sourcing for the FDA documents featured to avoid preventable disputes.
CAMARILLO, Calif., Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Salem Media Group, Inc. (OTCQX: SALM) announced today that SalemNOW, the leading conservative and Christian streaming service, is now streaming Prescription to Kill, a powerful new true crime docuseries hosted by actor and filmmaker Kevin Sorbo.
Prescription to Kill is a gripping, multi-episode investigative series with a chilling medical twist. Hosted by Sorbo (God’s Not Dead, Let There Be Light, Reagan), the series was directed by Andrew Thibault (Speed Demons: Killing for Attention), and produced in partnership with High Speed Films, LLC.
The project originated from Thibault’s two-year legal battle with the Food and Drug Administration under the Freedom of Information Act, which uncovered hundreds of previously withheld reports linking prescription medications to acts of homicide - including multiple school shootings.
“Scarcely a week passes without another headline about a mass shooting,” said Robert Ellis, General Manager of SalemNOW. “Prescription to Kill arrives at a critical moment for America, as our nation grapples with a growing epidemic of targeted violence.”
Blending authentic footage, harrowing firsthand accounts, expert testimony, and never-before-seen FDA records, the series investigates the potential connection between psychotropic medications and mass violence.
Following Thibault’s testimony before the Tennessee Senate Health and Welfare Committee after the Covenant School tragedy, the state enacted landmark legislation mandating postmortem toxicology screenings for suspected mass killers.
“Most Americans don’t realize the FDA requires a ‘homicidal ideation’ warning on dozens of commonly prescribed psychiatric drugs,” said Andrew Thibault, director of the series. “It’s time for a national conversation about what role these drugs may be playing in America’s surge of violence.”
Prescription to Kill is now available for streaming exclusively on SalemNOW.com.
