A new three-part Netflix series titled 'The Murders in Idaho: Nightmare at the University' has become one of the platform's most-watched productions, reaching number one in 34 countries and accumulating 40 million views. The series focuses on the November 13, 2022, murders of four university students, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, in Moscow, Idaho. The production uses police camera footage, messages, interviews, and evidence such as a knife sheath found at the scene and images of a white Hyundai Elantra near the crime location to reconstruct the case. Bryan Kohberger, a student of criminology, was identified as the perpetrator and pleaded guilty in 2025, receiving four consecutive life sentences without parole and additional charges for unlawful entry into the residence. The series also highlights the victims’ backgrounds and the impact on their families.
