Snapped is an American true crime television series produced by Jupiter Entertainment which depicts high profile or bizarre cases of women accused of murder. Each episode outlines the motivation for murder, whether it be revenge against a cheating husband or lover, a large insurance payoff, or the ending to years of abuse, with each murder's circumstances as unique as the women profiled.[2]

Since its premiere on August 6, 2004 on Oxygen, Snapped has become the network's longest-running original series, with its 33 defined seasons and nineteen years in production (and two spin-offs) and outlasting the thirteen years and seventeen seasons of the Bad Girls Club. The show also played a large role in the decision by parent company NBCUniversal to relaunch Oxygen as a crime network in mid-2017.[3][4] As of April 7, 2024, 629 original episodes of Snapped have aired.
