## Synopsis

American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson (2025) is a United States Netflix true crime docuseries presented as a four-part miniseries of roughly 73-minute episodes. Rather than dramatizing the events, it revisits the murder case that became a cultural phenomenon, built from archival footage and on-camera recollections from people who lived through it. Participants appearing as themselves include former detective Tom Lange, detective Mark Fuhrman, Kato Kaelin, prosecutor Christopher Darden, Kim Goldman, Ron Shipp, Geraldo Rivera, Mike Gilbert and reporter Jeffrey Toobin, along with O. J. Simpson himself in archive material. The engine of the series is the question of how the investigation unfolded and how the public came to judge it, with the white Bronco, the gloves and the courtroom becoming symbols of a nation's obsession. Each episode works through evidence, testimony and media coverage in a sober, investigative register that feels tense, intimate and frequently disturbing. Set in 1990s Los Angeles and the surrounding media landscape, the series sits within the American true crime docuseries tradition of revisiting notorious trials. Fans of The People v. O.J. Simpson, The Jinx and Making a Murderer will find resonance in its blend of archival footage and retrospective reckoning.
