Production Type: Limited Series
Convicting a Murderer is a standalone Limited Series designed as a completed, finite historical narrative. Produced as a direct investigative response to the 2015 Netflix phenomenon Making a Murderer, this ten-part production was structured to present evidence and testimony omitted from the previous narrative. The production scale involved extensive archival research and interviews with law enforcement officials and legal experts to provide a comprehensive counterpoint to the Steven Avery case.
The series was conceived as a finite project with the specific goal of re-examining the trial of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey through a different lens. Because it focuses on a specific historical legal case and aims to correct the public record, the narrative reaches a natural conclusion once the available evidence has been presented. The creators designed the series to stand as a complete investigative document rather than an ongoing episodic franchise.
