Don't F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer

Production Note - Limited Series

Don't F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer is a standalone Limited Series that concluded its 3-episode run in December 2019. The production, led by director Mark Lewis and Raw TV, utilized a vast array of digital artifacts and interviews to recreate the complex manhunt for Luka Magnotta. It focused on the intersection of internet culture and real-world crime, documenting how a global community of amateur detectives used crowdsourced intelligence to assist law enforcement. Because the narrative follows a specific criminal investigation from its inception to the final legal sentencing of the perpetrator, the series was architected as a complete story with no room for continuation.

The scale of the project involved coordinating perspectives from North America and Europe, mirroring the international scope of the original investigation. As a true crime documentary focusing on a closed case, the production was designed to be a self-contained exploration of the ethics of online vigilantism and the psychological profile of its subject. Once the timeline reached the conclusion of the judicial process, the creative team intentionally finalized the series, ensuring it remained a definitive account of the events rather than an ongoing franchise.
