Confronting a Serial Killer is an American documentary television miniseries directed and produced by Joe Berlinger. It explores Jillian Lauren, as she lures and investigates Sam Little, the most prolific serial killer in American history. It consists of 5-episodes and premiered on April 18, 2021, on Starz.

The series follows Jillian Lauren, as she lures and investigates Sam Little, the most prolific serial killer in American history.

Jillian Lauren initially began writing a mystery novel, and while interviewing detective Mitzi Roberts of The Los Angeles Police Department she told Lauren: "Well, I’m proud of them all, but I did catch this serial killer Sam Little once. That was pretty cool." Lauren began writing a non-fiction book about Little, and spent more than 40 hours interviewing him, where he confessed to multiple murders and sent her drawings of his victims. In December 2018, Lauren wrote about her experiencing interviewing Little for The Cut. Joe Berlinger read the article and thought it would be interesting for a feature-length film or documentary series and met with Lauren.
