The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare (2026)

The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare is a three-part documentary miniseries from Netflix, which premiered on July 29, 2026. Directed by Skye Borgman (known for the film Unknown Number: The High School Catfish), and executive produced by Academy Award nominee Joe Berlinger (Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey). The series meticulously reconstructs one of the most chilling criminal cases in recent years — the brutal murder of four University of Idaho students in November 2022. Plot

On November 13, 2022, the bodies of four students were found in a rented house off campus: Madison "Maddie" Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. The murder shook the quiet college town and the entire nation. For several weeks, the killer remained at large, sparking a wave of fear and uncertainty. The documentary series uses police body camera footage, text messages, interviews with family, friends, and investigators to step-by-step reconstruct the events of that night, the investigation, and the arrest of suspect Bryan Kohberger. Special attention is given to the victims' personalities — their dreams, relationships, and how their deaths affected their loved ones. Franchise

This series is not part of a broader franchise, but there are several documentary projects dedicated to this case:

• One Night in Idaho: The College Murders (2025–2026) — a four-part documentary series that also explores the murders, focusing on context, compassion, and the voices of loved ones.
• The Idaho Student Murders (2025) — a separate documentary film. Where to Watch
