This September, the leading true crime network Investigation Discovery unlocks never-before-seen footage from the making of Juiced – the ill-fated hidden-camera prank show featuring O.J. Simpson. An extreme experiment in the reality TV genre during a time that fused shock value and celebrity culture at any cost, for Simpson, the show was a misguided and desperate attempt to rehabilitate his public image. But just as producers were about to launch this ill-fated attempt to blend reality television with the crime of century, a mystery saboteur brought the whole thing crashing down from within. Premiering across two nights, O.J. UNSEEN: EXPLOITATION OF EVIL is an explosive four-part documentary event that examines the behind-the-scenes ethical and production challenges that derailed the project before it ever reached audiences. Featuring rare footage, including archival footage of Simpson captured during production, alongside firsthand accounts from those on the front lines of production as they reflect on the boundaries pushed two decades later, the series unravels how one of pop culture’s most controversial television experiments came to be and why it ultimately came crashing down. Exploring the ethical implications of shock reality television and the culture that enabled it, O.J. UNSEEN: EXPLOITATION OF EVIL premieres on Monday, September 7 and Tuesday, September 8 at 9/8c on ID, with episodes available to stream on HBO Max.

O.J. UNSEEN: EXPLOITATION OF EVIL is the first documentary to chronicle and thoroughly investigate the making of Juiced, exposing the toxic collision of celebrity, media, and spectacle during an era when exploitation was increasingly packaged as entertainment. Drawing on unearthed footage and behind-the-scenes access, the docuseries traces the show’s evolution from audacious concept to troubled production, capturing the increasingly volatile atmosphere that unfolded both behind and in front of the cameras. At the center of the story are revealing interviews with Simpson himself, providing context for how the project was shaped at the time and his endless pursuit of notoriety through entertainment – a fixation that remained with him until his death.

Featuring exclusive firsthand accounts from Juiced creators, producers, actors, and others involved in the project, alongside commentary from cultural experts, O.J. UNSEEN: EXPLOITATION OF EVIL peels back the curtain on the forces that made this project a product of reality television’s most provocative era. Over four gripping episodes, the series examines how Juiced became a flashpoint in a media culture increasingly willing to blur the lines between controversy, spectacle, and entertainment, raising provocative questions about society’s enduring fascination with scandal.
