University of Idaho Murders To Get Docuseries & Scripted Series at Prime Video

The Big Picture Prime Video is getting a jump on the other streamers and has announced its plans to move forward with both a documentary and a scripted series that will focus on one of the biggest true crime cases of the last decade — the quadruple homicide of University of Idaho students back in 2022.

The docuseries hails from Skydance Television and Story Syndicate and will pull much of its information from an upcoming nonfiction book about the case penned by prolific authors James Patterson and Vicky Ward. This will be the latest collaboration to stem from Patterson’s first-look deal with Skydance Television, as the studio is currently working on a Cross adaptation starring Aldis Hodge and will also be adapting other titles including those from the author’s Women’s Murder Club series.

The case behind both titles is still ongoing as Kohberger’s trial is a slow-moving one. The slayings took place on a night in November 2022 when four University of Idaho students were viciously attacked and stabbed to death in their off-campus home. While an immediate suspect was not obvious, law enforcement soon centered on Kohberger, a doctoral student at Washington State University who was pursuing his PhD in criminology.

Why Liz Garbus and Matthew Galkin Are the Perfect Team For These Projects Close There’s Something Wrong with Aunt Diane and I’ll Be Gone in the Dark just begin to scratch the surface when it comes to Garbus’ career in storytelling. With a dedication to the victims, Garbus has also stood behind both scripted and documentary projects, including Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York, Harry & Meghan, Lost Girls, and more.

As of right now, neither the scripted series nor the docuseries has a release date, but stay tuned to Collider for more information.
