Netflix is expanding its true crime footprint with the launch of Allegedly, a new weekly video podcast hosted by Emmy-winning NBC News journalist Ellison Barber.
Set to premiere on April 29, the series represents a hybrid format that blends sharp investigative reporting with deep-dive conversations, featuring insights from insiders and experts on the nation’s most captivating cases. Barber brings a wealth of field experience to the project, having covered everything from global war zones to high-profile American trials like the Alex Murdaugh and Kyle Rittenhouse cases.
Through this podcast, she aims to bring viewers behind the scenes of the reporting process, analyzing compelling evidence and uncovering new perspectives on stories that have dominated public discourse.
The debut episodes are slated to tackle heavy-hitting topics, including new revelations in the Gabby Petito case, high-profile investigations into real estate brokers, and the intricate psychology of cults.
“As an avid viewer of true crime and someone who’s always loved digging into details, I’m eager to bring viewers inside our reporting process as we examine the most compelling evidence with guests whose unique perspectives shed new light on cases capturing the nation’s attention,” Ellison Barber told Tudum.
This move aligns with Netflix’s broader content strategy, which continues to prioritize both scripted and unscripted crime narratives as seen with recent hits like Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen and the upcoming Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. By partnering with NBC News Studios for this production, Netflix is reinforcing its commitment to high-caliber investigative content, offering an interactive and in-depth look at the cases people can’t stop sharing.
