Netflix has set a June 3 air date for Candle True Stories’ docuseries, Michael Jackson: The Verdict.
In 2003, Michael Jackson was charged with multiple counts of child molestation, setting off a media firestorm and courtroom proceedings that captivated millions. His acquittal on all counts only further stoked public interest in the larger-than-life celebrity at the centre of the trial, interest that continues to persist long after Jackson’s death in 2009. Michael Jackson: The Verdict revisits the case that became one of the most closely watched legal sagas of all time. Featuring key individuals who were inside the courtroom, including jurors, eyewitnesses, and accusers and defenders alike, the three-part docuseries dissects the case against Jackson from the perspectives of both the prosecution and the defense.
The series is directed by Nick Green and executive produced by Fiona Stourton.
The series features new interviews with participants involved in the trial, including jurors, as well as media figures who were inside the courtroom and observed the case unfold firsthand.
Michael Jackson: The Verdict is created by showrunner David Herman, who also executive produces alongside Fiona Stourton and James Goldston. Nick Green directs all three episodes, and the series is produced by Candle True Stories.
