One Night in Idaho: The College Murders OTT Release Date - In the early hours of November 13, 2022, the quiet college town of Moscow, Idaho, was shattered by a crime so brutal it made national headlines within hours. Four University of Idaho students, namely Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, were found stabbed to death in their shared off-campus home.
The murders didn't just leave their families and friends in anguish; they ignited an overwhelming wave of media frenzy, online speculation, and collective paranoia across the country. Now, nearly three years later, the case that shook the nation is the focus of a deeply personal and emotionally intense true docuseries titled One Night in Idaho: The College Murders, premiering July 11 on Prime Video.
A human story amid chaos
What makes this docuseries stand apart is its approach. Directed by Liz Garbus (I'll Be Gone in the Dark, Lost Girls) and Matthew Galkin (Murder in the Bayou), the series brings the audience into the lived experiences of those who were closest to the victims. The series features exclusive interviews with the families of the victims, including Stacey and Jim Chapin, parents of Ethan, and Karen and Scott Laramie, parents of Madison.
The directors behind the lens
Garbus and Galkin are not new to stories of pain, injustice, and silence. Garbus previously worked on Netflix's Lost Girls, a series that focused on the victims of the Long Island Serial Killer. Galkin's work on Murder in Big Horn put the spotlight on the overlooked cases of murdered and missing Indigenous women in Montana.
Their experience working with victims' families shows through in One Night in Idaho; this is a sensitive, unfiltered look at what happens when grief meets the digital age. The pair began working on the project in early 2023, reaching out to families to document the aftermath. Their goal? To give a voice to the ones left behind.
The series comes with serious production backing. It's produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television, Story Syndicate, James Patterson Entertainment, and Fairhaven. Executive producers include a powerful lineup: Katie A. King, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Matt Thunell, Dan Cogan, Jon Bardin, Kate Barry, Mala Chapple, James Patterson, Bill Robinson, and Patrick Santa.
