The Innocent Man is an American true crime documentary television series based on John Grisham's 2006 book The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town.[1][2] The six-episode first season debuted on Netflix on December 14, 2018.[3]

Like Grisham's nonfiction book, the series follows two murder cases in Ada, Oklahoma, between 1982 and 1984.[4][5] The cases examine the potential false confessions of Ron Williamson, Dennis Fritz, Tommy Ward, and Karl Fontenot.[1][6]
