Nonscripted pros consider the potential of a docuseries on the disgraced NFL star if he’s released as expected later this year: “The danger of trainwreck shows is that you’ve got to watch out for the train because it will run you over.”
Was O.J. Simpson’s recent TV ubiquity just the beginning?
FX Emmy darling American Crime Story and ESPN Oscar winner O.J.: Made in America had the infamous NFL running back dominating the cultural conversation in 2016 — 21 years after his acquittal on murder charges and months before his potential parole: Simpson could be out of the Nevada penitentiary where he’s serving 33 years for armed robbery and kidnapping as early as October. Many in the industry think a reality show might soon follow.
“The danger of trainwreck shows is that you’ve got to watch out for the train because it will run you over,” cautions 44 Blue Productions CEO Rasha Drachkovitch (Lockup), one of several reality producers who thinks at least one network or streamer could make a play for a Simpson docuseries to its potential peril.
