About the show
THE CASE AGAINST ADNAN SYED reinvestigates the 1999 murder of 18-year-old Baltimore County high school student Hae Min Lee, and the subsequent conviction of her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, brought to global attention in 2014 by the popular podcast “Serial.” THE CASE AGAINST ADNAN SYED reexamines the case from the genesis of their high school relationship to the original police investigation and trial, and moves into the current day as Syed faces the prospect of a new trial after almost 20 years in jail. Directed by Amy Berg (“West of Memphis,” the Oscar®-nominated “Deliver Us from Evil”), this absorbing four-part documentary series is available for streaming now, on HBO and Crave.
Along with footage and recordings from the original investigation and trial, THE CASE AGAINST ADNAN SYED features exclusive new interviews with figures from many sides of the case, including: Syed’s mother, father and brothers; family friend and advocate Rabia Chaudry, who originally reached out to “Serial” podcast host Sarah Koenig; Asia McClain, a key witness in the appeal; Susan Simpson, an attorney and advocate for Syed; high school friends Aisha Pittman, Krista Meyers, Laura Estrada Sandoval and Debbie Warren; Darryl Massey, a former Baltimore City police detective on Syed’s case; and key prosecution witnesses who have not spoken publicly until now.
