Netflix’s New True Crime Doc: Fred & Rose West’s Horrifying Story Revealed

A new documentary series about British serial killers Fred and Rosemary West is heading to Netflix.

Netflix is shining a spotlight on British criminal activities, as they are pouring resources into several productions centered around murders and unlawful acts occurring within the United Kingdom.

Two productions, one being a documentary and another a drama, are both underway, focusing on the tragic event surrounding Rachel Nickel’s death. Following the acclaimed 2022 documentary “Jimmy Savile: A Nightmare in Britain,” Netflix is also developing a series that delves into the chilling tales of two notorious British serial killers.

On May 14, 2025, a chilling drama entitled “Fred & Rose West: A Gripping Nightmare” is set to premiere, spanning over three episodes as it delves into the horrific crimes committed by this infamous British couple.

Fred & Rose West: A British Horror Story will feature unseen footage

The chilling drama “Fred & Rose West: A British Nightmare” is set to unfold across three episodes. The initial episode delves into the life of Fred, while the second episode will center around Rosemary, and the final episode will depict their court trial.

In this rephrased version, the documentary provides unique insights by showcasing never-before-seen police videos and unreleased audio recordings. As it unfolds, the program delves into how Gloucestershire law enforcement uncovered the remains of their victims and subsequently constructed a case against the involved couple.

As a gamer, I can’t wait to hear directly from the affected families for the very first time on this show. They’ll be sharing their personal struggles and experiences, providing an intimate look into their ordeals.

The documentary was created by Dan Dewsbury, who shared with Deadline: “Creating this series was a massive endeavor for our team. Gaining access to unseen footage, unheard recordings, and speaking with individuals who had never discussed the case before, all while respecting the families’ feelings after years of silent sorrow and resilience, has been an enlightening experience.

We hold immense admiration for the thorough police investigation that ultimately resulted in Fred and Rose West being brought to justice for their criminal actions.

Here’s how the show divides their story up:

In the opening episode, we find Fred West being apprehended for questioning regarding his vanished daughter. At first, he vehemently denies any involvement. However, as the investigation progresses, a chilling reality begins to surface.

In the second episode, the police unravel more details about the sinister bond between the couple, leading them to suspect that Fred wasn’t working alone in the mystery they are trying to solve.

“In the heat of the gaming world, Episode 3: The Trial, I’m delving deeper into the mystery. The investigation stretches past Cromwell Street, and lo and behold, the cops find clues suggesting Rose might be entangled in this saga far more than anyone thought.”
