Tuesday night’s finale of “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson” brought in millions of viewers.

The success of the FX miniseries depicting the famous trial that found Simpson not guilty of the murder of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, has renewed interest in what was dubbed “the trial of the century.”

Leading up to the “American Crime Story” finale, television viewers could watch a 12-hour marathon that aired highlights from the actual trial.

ESPN is set to air a five-part documentary this June about the rise and fall of Simpson. The documentary is titled “O.J.: Made in America.”

Actor Martin Sheen is also executive producing and narrating a new docuseries that will attempt to show that Simpson is innocent. The docuseries is said to be revealing new evidence behind the deaths of Brown Simpson and Goldman and offering a new theory behind their murders.

The renewed attention on Simpson is happening while the former football star remains behind bars. Simpson is currently serving a sentence of nine to 33 years in a Nevada prison after being convicted of robbery and kidnapping for a 2007 bungled robbery of sports memorabilia Simpson said was stolen from him.

Simpson is eligible for parole next year in the case.

Yale Galanter, who represented Simpson in the robbery case, described the FX miniseries as “mostly fiction.”

“Obviously the TV series takes a point of view that's very favorable to the defense,” Galanter told ABC News. “A lot of it is fact but it's mostly fiction.”

The miniseries features Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. as Simpson. John Travolta, Sarah Paulson and David Schwimmer also star in the series.

Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, is portrayed in the miniseries. Although he's been watching the series, Goldman said he's unhappy with the attention it's been getting.

“You don't take the slaughter of two people and turn it into a money-making proposition,” Goldman said. “There's plenty of ways to generate money without taking two murders and turn it into entertainment.”

The Goldman family was successful several years ago in gaining ownership through bankruptcy court of the copyright to the manuscript of Simpson's book, "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer," in order to prevent Simpson from profiting from it sales.

Goldman said his daughter, who is also portrayed in the miniseries, described the renewed interest in the case best by saying it's like pouring salt into an open wound.

Yes amazing show and like I've said a few times in this thread the actual trial was like a TV show it was circus lol

The 3 main leads were awesome, Darden was excellent last few eps. Marcia was always solid but my man Mr B Vance was great it was just like seeing Johnnie. If he doesn't get an emmy.

This show should clean up IMO

I think the show did a great job of actual remaining neutral in regards to if OJ did it or not and trying to present theories on why he was definitely innocent and/or guilty. Anytime I see someone say the show was heavily slanted in one direction then you can tell they already had their minds made up with no thought of considering both sides of the equation. And what happened during that robbery case that lead to OJ's lawyer coming out saying that?

I thought the show was very fair and actually painted Johnny Cochran in a favorable light, showed with him that the case was much deeper for him than getting an accused murderer off.

Lmao @ get in the van Bob or I'll tell them you're Jewish.
