The Fall: Skydive Murder Plot Joins Netflix Library

The series’ blend of real interviews and staged reconstructions will bring renewed global attention to the 2015 attempted murder case.

Overview

  • All three episodes of the three‑part series were added to Netflix on June 30, 2026, after earlier broadcasts on Channel 4 and availability on Disney+.
  • The programme recounts the April 2015 Wiltshire incident in which Victoria Cilliers survived a 4,000‑foot fall when both her main and reserve parachutes failed.
  • Police investigation found deliberate tampering with Cilliers’s parachutes and her then‑husband Emile Cilliers was later convicted of two counts of attempted murder and jailed with a minimum term of 18 years.
  • The series mixes on‑camera interviews with Victoria and investigators with dramatised reconstructions featuring MyAnna Buring as Victoria and Neil Bishop as Emile.
  • Victoria Cilliers has since published a memoir, works as a physiotherapist for the UK Ministry of Defence, lives in Wiltshire with her family, and reportedly remarried in 2024, while the series’ unusual format drew a mixed critical response when first broadcast.
