Apple has described the series as “the most thoroughly researched examination of John Lennon’s 1980 murder”.

Lennon was gunned down outside his New York City apartment building on December 8 1980.

The production was granted extensive Freedom of Information Act requests from the New York City Police Department, the Board of Parole and the District Attorney’s office.

The series also includes exclusive interviews with eyewitnesses – speaking for the first time – along with some of Lennon’s closest friends, as well as interviews with Chapman’s defence lawyers, psychiatrists, detectives and prosecutors.

The series will be directed by Nick Holt and Rob Coldstream with executive producers David Glover, Mark Raphael and Rob Coldstream and producers Simon Bunney and Louis Lee Ray.

A release date has not yet been announced.
