OJ Simpson Netflix Documentary Release Date and Trailer

It was the case that captivated the world. 

In 1995, former NFL player, commentator, and actor O.J. Simpson went on trial for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. The eight-month televised courtroom proceedings and swift acquittal sent shockwaves through the nation.

Thirty years later, director Floyd Russ (American Manhunt: Boston Marathon Bombing, Untold: Malice at the Palace) reexamines one of the most-discussed true-crime stories in history in the four-part docuseries American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson. “This is a story that has so many faces and so many elements that when you contextualize it historically it takes on a new form every few years,” Russ says. 

The series features new interviews with many of the key figures from the investigation and trial, such as former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman, multiple witnesses including Kato Kaelin, attorneys for the defense and prosecution in Carl Douglas and Christopher Darden respectively, and Goldman’s sister Kim. “Our interview subjects have a power to reflect in a new way with the passage of 30 years,” says Russ of his conversations. “Their emotions have evolved, and the way they’re able to talk about it is different than they ever have before. That sense of reflection from the people involved was apparent from the get-go, which made us feel that this story was one that needed to be told in a new and different way.”
