Netflix just announced a scripted show about the murder of JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey<\/strong> that might sound familiar after the series was originally meant to premiere at Paramount.<\/p>\n

In July 2026, Netflix announced the new limited series The Murder of JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey<\/em> would be released later that year.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe series centers on one of the most infamous unsolved murder cases in American history, and the devastating personal and public reckoning that followed the death of JonBenet Ramsey on Christmas night in 1996,\u201d read the official synopsis.<\/p>\n

True crime fans, however, remember that the series was previously referred to as Unspeakable: The Murder of JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey<\/em> when it was set for a release at Paramount+. According to Deadline<\/em>, David C. Glasser<\/strong>\u2019s 101 Studios had been in turnaround with the show since its original platform opted not to proceed with it late last year.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tGetty Images (3); MEGA From the murder of JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey to convicted killer Ed Gein, there\u2019s several scripted true crime shows coming our way soon. Paramount+ recently announced a limited series that will cover the Ramsey family before and after JonBenet\u2019s murder in 1996. The unnamed JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey series specifically centers around parents John and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The show was commissioned by Paramount and got greenlit in March 2024. After casting commenced, the series was officially picked up by Paramount+ in September 2024 as production kicked off.<\/p>\n

Filming wrapped in January 2025 \u2014 months before Paramount Global was acquired by Skydance Global. As a result, new leadership reviewed The Murder of JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey<\/em> and there were concerns after a version<\/a> of the show was screened.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/em> reported that a defamation lawsuit previously filed against CBS by Ramsey\u2019s brother, Burke, could have played a role. (The lawsuit was previously settled<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Amid the evaluation, 101 Studios closed a deal in late October 2025 to move from Paramount to NBCUniversal at the start of 2026. The production company then took their limited series and started shopping it, which is how it was acquired by Netflix.<\/p>\n
