Netflix once again dives into the world of true crimes with a new documentary, Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers, gearing up for an October premiere as the official trailer drops glimpses of the infamous Aileen Wuornos case. Aileen Wuornos, a Michigan-born woman, had a troublesome past as a child, and later in life was forced to resort to extreme means to survive.
However, Aileen's story came to the limelight following her involvement in a harrowing case of serial killing sometime in 1989-90. Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers, which is a joint venture of NBC News Studios and BBC Studios Documentary Unit, will revisit the Florida killings, featuring exclusive interviews, courtroom sequences, and encounters from interrogation rooms. The convicted late Aileen Wuornos is also seen delivering a disturbing statement in the latest clip:
"The real Aileen Wuornos is not a serial killer. I was so lost that I turned into one. "
Here's an official synopsis of the upcoming Aileen Wuornos documentary, per IMDb:
"Aileen Wuornos killed 7 men while working as a prostitute in Florida (1989-90), claiming self-defense against rape."
Netflix drops official trailer for Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers; giving glimpses of a harrowing serial killing case from Florida
The late Aileen Wuornos' story is now the talk of the town as Netflix drops the official trailer for Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers. Per Tudum, the upcoming documentary will feature a recognized face from Dateline, Michele Gillen, along with audio tapes, prison interviews, and intense courtroom drama.
Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers will exclusively premiere on Netflix on October 30, and Emily Turner has directed the piece, as confirmed by Tudum. The documentary will reveal one of the most gut-wrenching serial killing cases that Florida has ever witnessed, a case that never followed the typical pattern.
Viewers will also get to dive into Aileen Wuornos' disturbed, traumatic childhood filled with abuse, suffering, and loneliness. Per Tudum, Aileen could never find a permanent place to stay and had to hop from one foster home to another in search of a stable life.
When she was a teenager approaching adulthood, Aileen went to Florida and spent her time hitchhiking. She was also forced to take up a job as a sex worker so that she did not have to sleep hungry. To quote the late Aileen Wuornos' words from the newest trailer:
"I was on the road from 16 to 20. I'm hitchhiking and I'm hooking, running into a lot of situations."
However, her life was turned upside down after she was convicted of killing seven men along the highways of Florida, following which she faced the death penalty in 2002. A voice from the latest trailer of Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers confirms the same:
"Seven men were killed within a 12-month period. All found dead in the woods."
Before this, the Aileen Wuornos story was also revisited in Monster (2003), featuring Charlize Theron, for which she also won the Academy Award. Almost 40 years after the incident, Aileen's story continues to send chills down the spine of the common people and is considered to be one of the most controversial serial killing cases of all time, owing to her troubled past.
