Netflix’s three-part documentary series American Nightmare examines the 2015 case of Denise Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn. The trailer hits the key elements of the story and teases a deeper dive into the subsequent rush to wrap the case up in a tidy bow.
The Tinder Swindler‘s filmmakers Felicity Morris and Bernadette Higgins directed the docuseries and served as producers. Rebecca North and Fiona Stourton executive produced.
“After a home invasion and abduction, a young couple’s recounting of the events is too far-fetched for the police to believe. Why did the victims seem so calm? Was it all a hoax?,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “From the filmmakers behind The Tinder Swindler, this three-part docuseries unravels the consequences of our cultural rush to judgment and the damage done when law enforcement decides the truth can’t possibly be true.”
The docuseries will incorporate real interrogation footage along with new interviews from parties involved in the case. American Nightmare premieres on Netflix on January 17, 2024.
