There’s Already Talk of O.J. Simpson Doing Reality TV Once He’s Released From Prison

O.J. Simpson is not getting out of prison until October at the earliest, but there’s already talk of him doing Reality TV once he’s out, according to TMZ. The entertainment news site reached out to various TV production companies and agents and they said they got an enormous range of responses, from “recoiling in disgust to pouncing on the opportunity” and they also learned that any show would likely be in documentary or interview format.

The former football player and convicted felon is no stranger to television, or, of course, the spotlight. His murder trial was known as “the trial of the century.” In 2006, he actually shot a TV special to go along with his book called “If I Did It,” that never ended up making it to air.

People are definitely still interested, too. ESPN’s documentary called O.J. Simpson: Made in America earned rave reviews and an Oscar, and the FX mini-series The People V. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story was watched by millions every week.
