Peacock Orders Four-Part Docuseries Based on the Love Trapped Podcast

Peacock has ordered a four-part true-crime docuseries, a documentary series told in episodes, based on the podcast Love Trapped. The show is about Laura Owens, who faked a pregnancy to trap former Bachelor star Clayton Echard, and it was reported by Deadline on 12 November 2026.

The podcast, hosted by Stephani Young, launched in September. It was produced by Glass Entertainment Group and Crybaby Media, the same two companies behind the new series. Owens had a brief relationship with Echard, who starred on season 18 of The Bachelorette and season 26 of The Bachelor. She claimed she was pregnant with twins before she was caught. She was later sentenced to a month in jail.

The screen version is working under the title Love Trapped: The Case of Laura Owens. A working title is a provisional name that can change before release. Peacock has said the series will premiere next year.

The producers say the series will draw on a wide circle of people. Interviewees include Echard, his legal team, Owens' mother Jan Black, other men she targeted, Young, and the online detectives who helped piece the story together. Owens herself appears in the series and shares her account for the first time.

Nancy Glass, Erin Lee Carr and Keayr Braxton are executive producers for Glass Entertainment Group. An executive producer is usually the senior figure who oversees the project's money and direction. Danny Passman is the executive producer for Crybaby Media. Braxton also directs the series.

For listeners who followed the podcast, the change of format is the main shift. Audio asked people to picture the story. A docuseries puts faces, locations and interviews on screen, and it will reach viewers who never pressed play on the podcast.

Deals like this one usually move from announcement to release over a long stretch. The series has a four-part run and a premiere window for next year, and the rest will come into focus as Peacock sets its date.
