Check out the trailer below:

The series is called Worst Roommate Ever, and in the trailer a women can be heard crying as she makes a call to the emergency services. 'I'm just calling to let you guys know that if something happens,' she says.

The operator then asks why she's crying, to which the woman responds she's 'afraid'. The operator asks, 'What, of your roommate?

Among the stories explored throughout the series is one of army veteran KC Joy, who murdered criminal justice student Maribel Ramos, with whom he shared the apartment.

Joy's failed efforts to cover up the murder led to him quickly becoming the prime subject in Ramos' case.

According to the series, Joy became obsessed with Ramos and soon spiralled out of control when she threatened to move out, after joy had stopped paying rent, Screenrant reports.

He later killed Ramos, with her body being found by police in a remote location; he was given 15 years to life in prison and charged with second-degree murder.

Joy has continued to maintain his innocence.

Other stories included in the series are that of Dorothea Puente, a serial killer dubbed the 'death house lady'.

Over the course of her killing spree, Puente drugged and buried vulnerable tenants, then stole their social security checks.
