Overview
- Netflix released a trailer this week and confirmed the three-part docuseries will debut on June 3, 2026.
- The series reconstructs the 2005 criminal trial of Michael Jackson using archival material and new interviews with jurors, lawyers, journalists and witnesses.
- Candle True Stories produced the project and Nick Green directed it, with creators telling Tudum they sought a historical, chronological account rather than the fragmented public record that circulated at the time.
- The coverage places the trial in its wider context by noting the 2003 investigation followed the airing of Living with Michael Jackson and that Jackson was acquitted of all criminal charges in 2005.
- Producers and the trailer emphasize the trial’s intense media spectacle, and the series could renew public scrutiny by offering firsthand courtroom perspectives that were previously unseen.
