Investigation Discovery O. J. Simpson docuseries

Overview

Investigation Discovery has announced the upcoming release of ‘O. J. Unseen: Exploitation of Evil’, a four-part docuseries scheduled for September. The series examines the production of ‘Juiced’, a 2006 hidden-camera prank show featuring O. J. Simpson in various disguises.

The project, which included segments such as Simpson attempting to sell a white Ford Bronco while referencing his 1994 police chase, was reportedly derailed after a crew member leaked the concept to the press. The docuseries aims to explore the ethical implications of shock television, the attempt by Simpson to rehabilitate his public image, and the volatile atmosphere during production using never-before-seen footage.
