New Two-Part Docuseries "O.J.'s Accomplice" Arrives on Peacock

Peacock, the streaming service owned by NBCUniversal, is releasing a new two-part documentary series, O.J.'s Accomplice, starting Sunday, Nov. 1. It goes live at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time, or 3:01 a.m. Eastern Time, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The series revisits the 1994 killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. It explores the idea that O.J. Simpson did not act alone. Simpson was tried for the murders and acquitted in 1995, a verdict he always maintained. The new series asks questions about who else may have been involved.

The series is available only on Peacock, meaning it will not appear on other streaming services. Viewers with a Peacock subscription can watch both parts from the release time. Peacock commissioned the project, which means it ordered the series and paid for it to be made.

The production was made by Ample Entertainment. In September, Realscreen reported that Ample had wrapped production, the industry term for finishing filming. That step is when editing and final preparations begin in earnest. For a documentary, a crew of researchers, editors and producers works for months to turn archive footage and interviews into a finished story.

Documentary series like this one are a steady part of the streaming business. Platforms use them to draw viewers in and keep them coming back, and they often run as a short series rather than a long run of seasons. The format also lets a company release a limited story in a fixed window, with a clear start date that viewers can plan around.

For anyone who lived through the 1994 case, the series offers a new look at a story that has been told many times. For everyone else, it is a two-part series with a clear start time and one place to watch. Both parts are ready to stream from the moment it goes live.
