Genre Documentary | Crime

Rating TV-14

Series Premiere June 8th, 2018 (Netflix)

“Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, presents a gripping courtroom thriller, offering a rare and revealing inside look at a high-profile murder trial.”
““There’s no murder weapon, there’s no motive,” a voiceover says in the new trailer for Netflix’s relaunch of The Staircase. But in the case of crime novelist Michael Peterson, who was charged and convicted of the murder of his wife Kathleen, things aren’t always so cut-and-dry in the judicial system.

The Staircase originally aired in 2004. Director Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, who was granted complete access to the case, crafted the series around crime novelist and accused killer, Michael Peterson. Lestrade chronicled Peterson’s battle to clear his name after Kathleen was found dead at the bottom of the staircase of their home in 2001.

Netflix’s The Staircase will include the original 2004 series along with three new episodes. The 13-episode seriesof The Staircase will debut on the streaming service June 8th.”

I don't know about you but I am an absolute sucker for these edge-of-your-seat crime documentaries. Most recently I watched Manhunt: Unibomber which was incredible so I am looking forward to finding out what The Staircase has to offer. Check out the official trailer below!!
