Netflix have announced a much anticipated documentary on the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier in Co Cork will be released on the streaming service on June 30th.
Produced by Lightbox and directed by BAFTA nominee John Dower, Sophie: A Murder in West Cork will examine one of Ireland's most high-profile murder investigations.
The documentary will detail the murder of the French documentary producer in 1996, examining the circumstances and long-running investigation that ensued.
It will also feature contributions from Sophie's family, Schull residents, and local press.
Last year, Netflix also confirmed the documentary would include the testimony of Ian Bailey, the man who was at the centre of the investigation.
Bailey has always denied any involvement in Sophie’s death.
Executive producers Suzanne Lavery and Simon Chinn said they hope to honour Sophie's memory with the series.
"Whatever actually happened on that cold December night in 1996, the story is one of a collision of worlds, cultures and characters and it was that which drew us to it. But it was meeting and gaining the trust of Sophie’s family which really gave us our purpose.
"Justice has eluded them for a quarter of a century since Sophie’s death and their main aim in cooperating with us to make this series is to do justice to her memory. We hope we have achieved that, for them."
