A brand-new eight-part Madeleine McCann documentary is coming to Netflix.
Madeleine was three when she vanished from apartment 5A on Rua Dr Agostinho da Silva in the Algarve village at about 9pm on May 3 2007.
Her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, of Rothley, Leicestershire, have vowed to do "whatever it takes for as long as it takes" to find her.
British detectives working on the case revealed recently that they were pursuing a "significant" line of inquiry, with information received on a daily basis.
More than £11 million has been spent on the probe to find the missing girl, who vanished from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz.
The case will now form the centre of a new as-yet-untitled, eight episode true crime series, featuring interviews with both investigators and key figures from the case.
This isn’t the first time Netflix has dabbled in controversial criminal cases, releasing last year a one-part documentary on Amanda Knox, the American student who served almost four years in an Italian prison for the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, before being definitively acquitted.
True crime’s surge in popularity was certainly aided by Netflix’s own Making a Murderer, based on Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey’s conviction of Teresa Halbach.
A release date for the Madeleine McCann documentary has yet to be announced.
