Nicole Brown Simpson’s Sister Signs with Peacock Productions for Series

NEW YORK: NBC News’s Peacock Productions has signed a deal with Denise Brown, sister of the late Nicole Brown Simpson, to develop a new true-crime series.

As part of the unscripted series, Brown and a team of experts will investigate all sides of a story in cases where justice has been called into question. Her sister was at the center of the O.J. Simpson murder trial in the ’90s.

“Denise has experienced first-hand the complexities of the criminal justice system,” said Melody Shafir, the VP of development for Peacock Productions. “She testified on behalf of her sister during one of the most high-profile murder trials in recent history and will draw on that experience throughout the series, with a deep understanding of the impact the system can have on the victim’s family.”

“Peacock Productions’s expertise in the true-crime narrative and unscripted programming is unparalleled,” said Denise Brown. “I am excited to begin working with Peacock and tell the stories of lives that have forever been changed by the criminal justice system.”
