Laci Peterson Documentary Tops Netflix Charts

Netflix’s popular show, Emily in Paris, returned for its fourth season on August 15, but it didn’t take long before it lost its top spot on the streaming chart. The show was overtaken by a new true crime documentary about the infamous Laci Peterson case.

American Murder: Laci Peterson quickly became the #1 show on Netflix. This three-episode series dives deep into the tragic story of Laci Peterson, who was murdered by her husband, Scott Peterson. It debuted at #2 and skyrocketed to the top, proving that true crime content remains a huge draw for audiences.

As for Emily in Paris, Netflix decided to split the fourth season into two parts. The first five episodes were released on August 15, while the remaining five will be available on September 12. This approach appears to be a strategy to keep viewers subscribed longer, as they can’t binge it all at once.

Meanwhile, comedian Matt Rife‘s latest stand-up special, Lucid, has dropped to #3 in the rankings, suggesting it may not be as popular as his previous release. A new series called Average Joe has made its debut at #4, gaining traction among viewers.

The final season of The Umbrella Academy has seen a rapid decline in popularity, with fans expressing disappointment in its storyline. In contrast, Love is Blind UK has resurged with new episodes, landing at #6.

Long-standing hit A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder has slipped to #9, leaving fans curious about its future and renewal chances. As for the Laci Peterson documentary, it seems likely to hold onto the top position for a while, considering the intense public interest in the case.
