Evil Lives Here is an American documentary television series on Investigation Discovery that debuted on January 17, 2016. This 60-minute true crime show spends each episode interviewing a family member of the highlighted criminal.

On August 23, 2020, Season 8 kicked off with a 90-minute episode called "I Killed Dirty John", on which Debra and Terra Newell recount their experiences with "Dirty" John Meehan. The format is featured on the spinoff series, Evil Lives Here: Shadows of Death, in which both investigators and families of victims discuss the impacts murders had on their lives. Unlike its predecessor, the culprit isn't revealed right away in some episodes.

A spinoff sequel, Evil Lives Here: The Killer Speaks premiered on October 1, 2023, and is about murders told from the perspectives of the killers and at least one surviving family member.

Another sequel series, Evil Lives Here: My Child The Killer will premiere on Investigation Discovery on March 31, 2026. This series is about parents whose children grew up to become murderers.
