A new Hulu documentary “Devil in the Family” has got the whole world talking.
This series takes a deeper look into the case of Ruby Franke. The former YouTube vlogger and mom of six was arrested for child abuse in August 2023 and sentenced in February 2024 after pleading guilty to aggravated child abuse of two of her children. It includes unreleased footage from the Franke family’s YouTube channel “8 Passengers” as well as interviews with Franke’s estranged husband Kevin Franke and two of their eldest children – son Chad and daughter Shari.
At first this idea of sharing their family’s “perfect” life sounded amazing to them. They got paid while having fun. Their followers started to grow, and everyone was falling in love with this wholesome family. Slowly, the cracks began to show. The family turned to a well known therapist in the area, Jodi Hildebrandt, and that was the start of it all.
“Devil in the Family: The fall of Ruby Franke” cuts through the social media reaction to explore the untold story behind the Ruby Franke Case. It is part family tragedy, part coming of age narrative, and part of how you never know what is going on behind closed doors.
