If you’re saving your Netflix true crime binge for the weekend, you’re in for quite a wild ride, because when your weekend downtime meets a true-crime marathon, drama is a given.

From documentaries shedding light on the most notoriously checkered names in history to shows and movies illuminating some of the most unbelievable real-life criminal cases of recent times, Netflix’s true crime roster has undergone all kinds of upgrades.

While the streaming giant still has a lot more on the way, considering there are still four months before 2026 ends, for your weekend shenanigans, we’ve brought a list of documentaries that are easily bingeable before Monday hits the road.

So, here are four new true crime documentaries to finish this weekend.

Four Netflix true crime documentaries to watch this weekend

The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare (Skye Borgman, 2026)

Directed by Skye Borgman, whose Netflix credits include My Father, the BTK Killer, The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare is a three-part true-crime documentary that recounts the brutal real-life killings of four University of Idaho students, Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Madison Mogen, at an off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho. The series features intimate interviews with those close to the victims to honour who they were beyond the crime statistics.

Using police bodycam footage, 911 call context, surveillance clips from the night before the attack and digital footprints, The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare reconstructs the hours leading up to the tragedy and its aftermath. The Netflix documentary examines the panic that plagued the close-knit college town during the weeks the killer remained at large, detailing the multi-agency police investigation that led to the eventual arrest of Bryan Kohberger.

Should I Marry a Murderer? (Josh Allot, 2026)

Conceived as a Netflix original limited series, Should I Marry a Murderer? is a three-part British true-crime documentary that details the real-life account of Dr Caroline Muirhead, a Scottish forensic pathologist, whose former fiancé, Alexander ‘Sandy’ McKellar, confessed to a shocking crime. After a whirlwind romance from Tinder in 2020, she got engaged to the Highland gamekeeper, unaware that the days ahead would lead to a nightmare-esque revelation.

Weeks into their rapid engagement, Muirhead reportedly asked McKellar if anything in his past could affect their future together. But what she probably didn’t expect was his admission of a fatal hit-and-run of 63-year-old cyclist Tony Parsons. Should I Marry a Murderer? follows Muirhead’s decision to cooperate with the Scottish police, while remaining trapped in a relationship with the very killer who managed to throw dirt in the eyes of authorities for the longest time.

Worst Neighbour Ever (Cynthia Childs, 2026)

If you want choices within choices, Worst Neighbour Ever will deliver in spades. The four-part true-crime documentary explores four separate real-life cases where everyday neighbourhood disputes spiral out of control, evolving into harassment, intimidation, and at times, fatal violence. Directed by Cynthia Childs, whose Netflix credits include Worst Roommate Ever, the docu-series uses police bodycam footage and firsthand interviews to detail each terrifying case.

The first chapter captures the evolution of a friendly relationship between a homeowner and a former houseguest in Kentucky that turns into a campaign of false accusations and threats next door, while the second captures an insurance fraud scheme orchestrated by a fraudster neighbour. The remaining episodes explore how a newlywed’s dream home transforms into a hellhole due to an evicted former neighbour and a reclusive LA man who mysteriously goes missing.

The Predator of Seville (Alejandro Olvera, 2026)

The last stop on our weekend true-crime marathon is The Predator of Seville, chronicling Gabrielle Vega’s pursuit of justice against Manuel Blanco, AKA Manu White, a seemingly charming Spanish tour guide who sexually assaulted several international students over many years. It all begins with Vega’s own story, who, at 19, embarked on a low-cost student trip to Morocco organised by Discover Excursions.

During the trip, Manu White reportedly assaulted Vega, a truth she kept hidden for a long time before deciding to go public with it. Following her public disclosure, several accounts of similar abuse surfaced, with dozens of American exchange students coming forward with accusations against the same man who dubbed himself the ‘Prince of Seville’. The Predator of Seville captures Gabrielle’s fight through years of setbacks that ultimately led to Manu White’s conviction.
