Peacock orders two-part O.J. Simpson documentary for December
Peacock has ordered OJ's Accomplice, a two-part documentary from Ample Entertainment that is scheduled to premiere in December, according to Deadline.
The order is for two episodes. That is a limited series, meaning it is designed to tell one closed story rather than return for another season.
The documentary revisits the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman on 12 June 1994. O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the murders in 1995 after an eight-month trial.
The programme makers say the series will present what they describe as real evidence suggesting members of Simpson's inner circle may know more about the killings. It examines the possibility that Simpson may not have acted alone. Those are claims made by the documentary, not findings by a court or law enforcement.
Interviews include Kato Kaelin, who was staying in Simpson's guesthouse at the time and testified at the trial, and a sister of Nicole Brown Simpson. The series is also organised around first-person accounts from eyewitnesses that are described as never heard before.
OJ's Accomplice was created by Ample Entertainment boss Ari Mark. Mark and Sumit David are executive producers, the senior figures who oversee the creative and business decisions on a production.
Sphere Abacus is handling international distribution, meaning sales of the documentary outside the United States. No further transmission dates or broadcast partners outside the US have been announced.
