OJ Simpson: Made in America trailer merges American Crime Story and Making a Murderer

'It is a much bigger story, one that explores O.J.’s life and how race and his pursuit of celebrity-shaped it'

If you’re into crime dramas then you’ve likely seen both The People v OJ: American Crime Story and Making a Murderer, both of which are based on real-life events.

In an attempt to blend the OJ’s story with the documentary format of Murderer, ESPN announced Made in America, a five-part series that will investigate Simpson’s life as a black athlete pre-trial.

“I told him, ‘O.J., you’re breaking the laws of God,’” a voice says in the trailer. “One day everybody’s going to know everything that you’ve done, man.” Watch below.

Director Ezra Edelman told EW: “It is a much bigger story, one that explores O.J.’s life and how race and his pursuit of celebrity-shaped it…while at the same time documenting the racial dynamics of L.A. and the relationship between its police force and black citizens — a relationship thrust front and center into the discussion of the murders, and one that proved a vital determinant in the outcome of the trial.”

The show will debut on ABC 11 June while the series will continue on ESPN from the 14 June.
