Dirty John Documentary to Debut on Netflix

The World Knew Him as Dirty John, a documentary series about conman John Meehan, is heading to Netflix.

From Bunim/Murray Productions and Empress Films, The World Knew Him as Dirty John showcases an unsettling portrait of a predator hiding in plain sight.

The series is directed by Emma Cooper and executive produced by Julie Pizzi, Jesse Daniels and Melissa G. Moore.

John Meehan—dubbed “Dirty John” was one of the first “rom-conmen” to grip the U.S. People were captivated and horrified by the twisted true story of how a seemingly perfect bachelor manipulated a woman and her children out of their money in the early 2010s, leading to relentless harassment and psychological abuse.
