Netflix to Release The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare Docuseries

Filmmakers say the three-part series centers the victims, using never-before-seen bodycam footage, police interviews, and forensic materials.

Overview

  • Netflix will premiere the three-part series The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare on July 29, 2026.
  • The series revisits the November 13, 2022 killings of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle and the investigation that led to Bryan Kohberger's guilty plea.
  • Producers describe the film as victims-centered and say it provides unprecedented access to family interviews, police footage, never-before-seen bodycam clips and forensic evidence tied to the case, including the DNA link investigators reported on a knife sheath.
  • Skye Borgman directs the project with Joe Berlinger and others as executive producers, and a trailer released by Netflix features police bodycam footage.
  • The Netflix docuseries joins separate projects on Peacock and Amazon Prime Video and could shape public memory of the case while raising ethical questions about retraumatizing families and how true-crime films handle sensitive evidence.
