Following the success of American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson and American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing, Netflix is expanding its true crime franchise with a gripping new documentary series focused on one of the most infamous manhunts in modern history—the pursuit of Osama bin Laden.
Directed by acclaimed filmmakers Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan, this three-part series delves deep into the global search for the al-Qaeda leader, who masterminded the September 11 attacks on the United States. Through exclusive interviews with key U.S. government officials and intelligence operatives, American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden chronicles the decade-long mission to track down and eliminate the world’s most wanted terrorist.
The series will explore the details of Operation Neptune Spear, the covert raid conducted by DEVGRU (Naval Special Warfare Development Group, also known as SEAL Team 6) under the command of Admiral William McRaven. This high-stakes mission, carried out on May 2, 2011, in Abbottabad, Pakistan, led to the death of bin Laden, marking a defining moment in the global fight against terrorism.
Blending first-hand accounts with never-before-seen footage, the documentary offers a comprehensive look at the strategies, setbacks, and breakthroughs that shaped this historic operation. With its meticulous storytelling and high-stakes narrative, the series promises to shed new light on one of the most significant counterterrorism missions in history.
American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden is set to stream exclusively on Netflix.
