Netflix releases three-part Idaho murders documentary on July 29

Netflix is set to debut a three‑part documentary titled *The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare* on July 29, 2026. The series, directed by Skye Borgman and produced with Joe Berlinger, recounts the November 2022 killings of four University of Idaho students—Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen—in an off‑campus house in Moscow, Idaho. The victims’ families and police body‑camera footage are featured, and the program follows the investigation that led to the arrest and plea deal of Bryan Kohberger, who was charged with four counts of first‑degree murder.

Public reaction on social media has been mixed, with some viewers accusing Netflix of exploiting the tragedy for profit, labeling the release a “cash grab.” Others argue the case remains significant for true‑crime audiences and that the documentary provides new insights through family interviews and previously unseen police material. The series adds to an existing slate of true‑crime documentaries about the Idaho murders, joining earlier releases on other streaming platforms.
