Before entering cinema, one of the directors, writers, and producers, Laura Ricciardi, was a lawyer, which greatly helped her in navigating the legal intricacies of the case.
Before turning to Netflix, Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi (the series' directors, writers, and producers) met with executives from PBS and HBO, but they showed no interest in the project.
Neither Steven Avery nor Brendan Dassey have seen the series, as prison conditions do not provide access to the Netflix platform.
