Nicole Brown Simpson documentary in production at Lifetime as 30
A two-part documentary series about Nicole Brown Simpson is in production at Lifetime to coincide with the 30-year anniversary of her June 12, 1994 murder.
News of the project comes a day after Brown Simpson's ex-husband and accused killer O.J. Simpson died at 76 after batting cancer.
The project about Brown Simpson, who was fatally stabbed at the age of 35 along with friend Ronald Goldman, 25, outside of her Brentwood, California home, is titled The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The project about Brown Simpson 'has been in the works for more than a year,' the outlet reported, noting that it's being made on 'a bid to reclaim her narrative.'
Lifetime has conducted interviews with 'more than 50 participants' including family and friends, according to THR.

The project will feature 'exclusive archival video and unprecedented family access' ahead of the 30-year milestone of her murder, in which no one was ever convicted.
The docuseries is part of the network's Stop Violence Against Women initiative, according to the outlet, which also includes the forthcoming film Gaslit by My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story.
According to THR, the project had initially been slated to come out in June, but could be moved up on the broadcasting calendar with new attention following Simpson's death.
Simpson and Brown wed in 1985 and had two kids, Sydney, 38, and Justin, 35, prior to their 1992 split.
O.J. Simpson's family announced his death in a tweet Thursday that he 'succumbed to his battle with cancer' Wednesday while 'surrounded by his children and grandchildren.'
Authorities subsequently confirmed Simpson - who was acquitted in the 1994-1995 criminal murder trial in the deaths of his ex-wife and Goldman, but held liable in a 1997 civil trial - had been in his native Las Vegas at his time of death, according to the AP.
In the decades since her death, Brown Simpson has been fondly remembered by friends including Kris Jenner and Faye Resnick.
Jenner in 2016 told People she considered Nicole an 'amazing friend' who supported her through difficult times.
'There were some really great precious moments we shared, [ones] that you have when you spend your life with someone,' said Jenner, who gave her daughter Kendall a middle name of Nicole in memory of her late confidante. 'I loved my friend really hard and [her death] was a loss for so many.'

Ronald Goldman's father Fred Goldman, who has tirelessly advocated for justice in the decades since his son's murder, told DailyMail.com earlier Wednesday that Simpson's death marked 'a further reminder' of Ronald's premature passing.
'It is a further reminder of my son's murder and a reminder about the many years we have missed Ron,' he said. 'His death is a reminder that Ron and Nicole were murdered by him. I am not going react to my thoughts about him dying.'
Fred wrapped up in saying, 'I have nothing to say about him. My response will not be about OJ's death but about he loss of my son's life by him. Thank you for calling. That is the only thing that I have to say.'
Fred subsequently told NBC News in a statement that Simpson's death was 'no great loss.'
