“People v. O.J. Simpson” is exec produced by Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Brad Falchuk and writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski.

It hails from Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions. Murphy is also directing the first episode.

"Our goal is to show you the behind-the-scenes mechanizations of crimes, stuff that you didn’t know," Murphy told USA Today in June.

 "When I read the scripts, I didn't know half the stuff [that occurred]. I'm like, 'That happened? That happened?' I think people will find them so illuminating. I did."

The ten-episode series is based on Jeffrey Toobin's 1996 book "The Run of His Life."
