Florida woman Casey Anthony said she was excited to have her side heard in a televised documentary after years of silence regarding the murder of her toddler daughter Caylee Anthony.

The documentary titled "Casey Anthony: Where The Truth Lies" is a three-part limited series premiering on November 29 on Peacock. Casey sits down in front of the camera for her first on-camera interview.

However, Peacock said she was not given any creative control over the project, and there were no guidelines for questions. A source close to the Florida woman noted that everyone has been talking about her for 14 years but has not really talked, People reported.

The source said Casey will finally set the record straight. In a statement, director and showrunner Alexandra Dean noted that Casey has been "largely shaped by the media convinced of her guilt" since she was found not guilty in 2011.

Dean said she believes many will be surprised by the result and cause the American public to look at the story "in a new light."

Alexandra Dean noted that Casey Anthony has never been given an in-depth or on-camera interview explaining her actions. The director said the production had retained its "complete editorial control," while Casey was not able to offer any notes regarding the result of the documentary.

The executive producers of the Casey Anthony documentary involved Tamra Simmons, Ebony Porter-Ike, Laura Michalchyshyn, and Sam Sniderman. The docuseries comes from Ant Blue Studios.

The series was also reported to feature Casey's "personal archives, behind-the-scenes footage, and the defense evidence for a never-before-seen look" on both sides of the story.

The press release noted that the documentary will also respond to the "speculation surrounding her actions at the time, demeanor in the courtroom, and time spent in prison."

Dean said the series will show a "startling psychological portrait" of Casey and the "complete narrative" of what she claims happened to her two-year-old daughter.

Caylee Anthony Disappearance

Caylee Anthony was raised in the Orlando home of her grandparents, Cindy and George Anthony, who were the parents of Casey Anthony. However, an alleged family argument caused Casey to leave with her young daughter on June 16, 2008 and rejected efforts to reconcile in person.

Casey used the family car and had been impounded after a month. George then retrieved it and noticed a smell that remained even after a trash bag had been removed from the trunk.

Cindy then reported that Caylee had been missing for a month and demanded Casey's arrest after noting that the vehicle smelled "like there's been a dead body in the damn car."

On July 16, 2008, Casey was arrested and was charged with child neglect, lying to investigators, and interfering with a criminal investigation. She was later charged with first-degree murder, with prosecutors indicating their intention to pursue the death penalty.

In July 2011, Casey was found not guilty of murder but was sentenced to four years in prison and a $4,000 fine for the four counts of lying to police. Her prison time was cut by the nearly three years already spent behind bars for good behavior.
