A television dramatisation portrays convicted murderer Erin Patterson as lonely and willing to stop at nothing, according to those involved in the production.

The series revisits a case that drew extraordinary attention in Australia and beyond, centred on a family lunch that killed three people.

Producers say the work draws on court material and reporting, while acknowledging the ethical questions raised by dramatising a recent crime.

Victims' families have previously voiced discomfort at the level of public fascination with the case.
