FOX network announced Wednesday it is developing a television series based on the murder trial of O.J. Simpson.

The FOX series "will take viewers behind the scenes of 'The Trial of the Century,' driven by the nonstop plot of a courtroom thriller and presenting the story of the trial as it has never been told," the network said.

FX Productions is overseeing the project, which is based on the Jeffrey Toobin book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson. The movie will have the same name as the book and the project's writers are Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (The People vs. Larry Flynt, Man on the Moon).

"Everybody remembers where they were when O.J. Simpson, riding in a white Bronco, led the police on a low-speed chase all over Los Angeles," Fox said in its announcement.

Simpson is currently serving a 33-year sentence for kidnapping and armed robbery at Lovelock Correction Center in Nevada. The 65-year-old was convicted in 2008. His friend, Norman Pardo, is producing a film about Simpson that aims to help give the former NFL player a positive image after he was acquitted of double murder in 1995 in the case of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman. The film will be named Unpromotable.

FOX tried to make a Simpson-inspired story in 2006, according to The Washington Post, and announced in November of that year a two-hour interview special titled The Practically Perfect November Sweeps Stunt. Simpson himself would explain to viewers how he would have murdered his wife, Brown, and her friend Goldman more than 10 years ago. 

The special was shortly after cancelled and never made it to air, after FOX-affiliated TV stations were outraged and said they would not air the interview.
