Netflix is reexamining the John O’Keefe murder case that ended in a not guilty verdict for Karen Read in The Trials of Karen Read. The three-part documentary series, which just released an official trailer, features interviews with jurors as well as members of O’Keefe’s family.
The Trials of Karen Read will premiere on November 23, 2026.
“When Boston police officer John O’Keefe is found dead in a blizzard outside a Canton, Massachusetts, home, suspicion quickly falls on his girlfriend, Karen Read, who was one of the first to arrive on the scene,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “As details from that night emerge, other theories about what might have really happened that night come to light, dividing a small town and gripping the nation. Featuring exclusive interviews with those who were inside the house, along with O’Keefe’s family and friends, and trial jurors, the series examines the story from the initial investigation through the years of tense courtroom battles that followed.”
Danielle Johnson Cutts (Space Shuttle Columbia: The Final Flight) directed the docuseries and Zora Kuettner serves as producer. Executive producers include Emma Tutty, Henry Singer, and Susannah Price.
