How to Watch Catfish Murders on Oxygen
Catfish Murders airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Oxygen True Crime, channel 251 on DIRECTV. The 10-episode series premiered on Sunday, October 18, 2026, and looks at cases where someone hid behind a fake online identity and a digital relationship ended in murder.
