Netflix is in production on a documentary series about the life and death of popular U.K. television presenter Jill Dando, who was killed in 1999.
On the morning of April 26, 1999, Dando was killed outside her home in West London. Her murder became one of the most high profile and complex investigations in British history. Dando’s death led to one of the largest investigations launched in the history of the Metropolitan Police. A suspect was convicted and imprisoned for eight years, but was acquitted after an appeal and retrial. Despite the police identifying several other suspects, Dando’s murder remains unsolved.
The multi-part Netflix series will blend archive, new research and interviews to revisit Dando’s life, career and legacy.
Produced by Empress Films, the documentary series is directed by Marcus Plowright (“Fred and Rose West: Reopened”) and executive produced by Emma Cooper (“The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes”).
The series will stream later this year.
More to come.
