Peacock is turning the investigative podcast Love Trapped into a four-part true-crime docuseries. Titled Love Trapped: The Case of Laura Owens (working title), the series will examine the legal dispute involving former The Bachelor star Clayton Echard and Laura Owens, whose pregnancy claims led to a highly publicised case and extensive online scrutiny.
Scheduled to premiere in 2027, the documentary will revisit Owens’ brief relationship with Echard and her claim that she was pregnant with his twins. Owens was sentenced to one month in jail last month after the case, which became the subject of the iHeart podcast, attracted widespread attention.
Who Will Appear in Peacock’s Love Trapped Docuseries?
The series will feature interviews with Echard and his legal team, Owens’ mother, and other men who were targeted by Owens. Stephani Young, the host of the Love Trapped podcast, will also appear, alongside online investigators who helped piece together the story.
One of the documentary’s notable elements is the participation of Owens herself. She will share her perspective on the events for the first time, adding another account to a story that has largely unfolded through legal proceedings, media coverage and online investigation.
From Investigative Podcast to True-Crime Documentary
Love Trapped was produced by Glass Entertainment Group and Crybaby Media, the same companies behind the upcoming Peacock adaptation. The podcast was hosted by Stephani Young and explored Echard’s account of the case, as well as the involvement of other individuals and online investigators.
The docuseries is executive produced by Nancy Glass, Erin Lee Carr and Keayr Braxton for Glass Entertainment Group, with Danny Passman executive producing for Crybaby Media. Braxton will also direct the four-part series.
With interviews spanning the central figures, their legal representatives and the online community that followed the case, Love Trapped: The Case of Laura Owens will bring a widely discussed story from the podcast format to television. The series is expected to premiere on Peacock in 2027; a specific release date has not yet been announced.
