How to watch ‘The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson’ documentary

This June marks 30 years since Nicole Brown Simpson’s murder, and a new documentary is aiming to tell her story through the people who knew her best.

The Lifetime doc, “The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson,” features interviews from over 50 participants, including friends and family. The project, which has been in the works for over a year, includes interviews with three of Brown’s sisters.

Brown’s murder, along with the murder of Ron Goldman, set the stage for the “trial of the century” as Brown’s ex-husband former NFL player O.J. Simpson stood trial for the crime. Simpson, who died in April 2024 at 76 years old, was acquitted, but a civil suit filed in 1997 by Goldman’s family found him liable for both deaths.

Melissa G. Moore, one of the documentary’s producers, explained her decision to pursue this project to DECIDER, stating “It always stood out to me that the most famous case in all of America, and maybe frankly the world, we could close our eyes and we can hear O.J. ‘s voice. But if you close your eyes, you can’t recall, or at least I couldn’t recall Nicole’s voice.”

“The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson” will change that.
