New Nicole Brown Simpson Documentary to Premiere on Lifetime Featuring Family Involvement

Lifetime will be airing a documentary about Nicole Brown Simpson later this year, as per a source familiar with the production. Brown Simpson's family and friends are involved in the project. While the airdate has not been finalized, it is planned to coincide with the 30th anniversary of her passing this summer.

The documentary about O.J. Simpson has been in progress for a while, even before his recent passing at the age of 76. The production is still ongoing, with discussions currently taking place about how to address Simpson's death in the film.

CNN reached out to Lifetime for a comment, but a representative declined to provide any information at this time.

Brown Simpson, who was married to Simpson from 1985 to 1992, was tragically killed on June 12, 1994 outside her Los Angeles home. Simpson was later acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman following a highly publicized 1995 trial.

However, in 1997, another jury unanimously found Simpson responsible for the wrongful deaths of Brown Simpson and Goldman in a civil lawsuit brought by Goldman's family. He was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages. Despite maintaining his innocence, by 2016, polls indicated that the majority of Americans believed he was guilty.

Lifetime is known for programming that centers around women’s stories, mostly recently airing docuseries on Wendy Williams and Gypsy Rose Blanchard.
