This is not Hollywood is a standalone Limited Series that concluded its 4-episode run in October 2024. Produced for Disney+, the series explores the media frenzy and investigation surrounding the 2010 murder of Sarah Scazzi in Avetrana. The production utilized a multi-perspective narrative structure to dissect the tragedy from the viewpoints of the key figures involved.
