True-crime documentaries often revisit cases that have already dominated headlines, but some stories continue to raise questions long after the courtroom proceedings have ended. The Casey Anthony case remains one of those stories, with the disappearance and death of two-year-old Caylee Anthony and the trial that followed still attracting intense public interest. For viewers looking to revisit the case or hear Casey Anthony's perspective years after the original trial, one documentary series stands out for giving her an unusually prominent role in telling the story.

But before pressing play, here is what to know about the documentary and where viewers can find it in 2026.

Where to watch the Casey Anthony Documentary in 2026?

The Casey Anthony case has remained a fixture in the true-crime conversation largely because of the stark divide between the prosecution's allegations, Casey Anthony's defense and the jury's eventual verdict. Her 2011 trial became a massive media event, while unanswered questions surrounding Caylee's death continued to fuel documentaries, specials and public debate. The three-part Peacock original is available to stream on Peacock, giving viewers a chance to hear Casey Anthony's perspective on the case more than a decade after her trial.

That lasting fascination eventually led to a project that put Casey herself at the center of the conversation. Rather than simply revisiting old courtroom footage, the three-part series gives her the opportunity to discuss the events from her own perspective, setting up a very different kind of examination of the case.

If one is curious about what Casey Anthony herself had to say, that story begins with Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies.

Inside Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies

The documentary gives Casey the space to present her version of events and revisit some of the most controversial aspects of the case. She maintains that she did not kill Caylee and discusses allegations of abuse within her family, her claims about Caylee's conception and what she says she was told following her daughter's death.

The series also revisits Casey's decision to lie to investigators, including her false story about a nanny named Zenaida allegedly taking Caylee. Her account is presented alongside archival material and the broader context of the investigation and trial. Some of Casey's allegations, particularly those involving members of her family, have been disputed and denied by the people involved.

The documentary does not provide a definitive answer to every question surrounding Caylee's death. Instead, it offers Casey's perspective while returning to a case that remains deeply divisive among true-crime viewers.  For audiences familiar with the original trial, the series also revisits some of the claims and controversies that shaped public opinion at the time. It ultimately leaves viewers to weigh Casey's account against the evidence and events that have kept the case in the spotlight for years.

More than a decade after Casey Anthony's highly publicized trial, the case continues to attract viewers who want to understand what happened, what was argued in court and why so many questions remain. Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies offers one particularly unusual entry point by allowing Casey to tell her side of the story while revisiting the events that made the case a defining moment in modern true crime.
