After the recent announcement about the upcoming last Beatles song next week, Apple TV+ has also announced a docu-series chronicling the infamous murder of John Lennon, which Kiefer Sutherland would narrate. The three-part docu-series will reportedly be the most in-depth look into the infamous incident that sent the world into a frenzy in 1980.
Titled John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial, the documentary will focus on the investigation and conviction of Chapman, who stalked the legendary musician for months and planned before shooting him outside his New York building, fatally wounding Lennon.
This infamous assassination, where the murderer directly confessed and took life imprisonment, has been a source of much research over the years. It has also been a part of the pop culture.
But this Apple TV+ docu-series will present new materials following Freedom of Information Act requests from the New York City Police Department, the board of parole, and the district attorney’s office and interviews with Chapman’s defense lawyers, psychiatrists, detectives, and prosecutors, along with those who knew Lennon before his death at the age of 40, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
Keifer Sutherland will take viewers on this journey with his immaculate narration. The Canadian actor is best known for his appearances in 24 and Designated Survivor but has also appeared in films like The Lost Boys and Stand By Me, which also happens to be a song John Lennon covered.
