The Pan Am Flight 103 Attack: 270 Victims and an International Investigation

On December 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, causing the death of 270 people. The event represents the most serious act of terrorism on British soil and gave rise to the largest murder investigation in the history of Scottish policing. The Bombing of Pan Am 103, a six-episode miniseries, reconstructs the investigation and the consequences of the explosion.

The series, arriving on Netflix on July 30, 2026, is based on the testimonies of those who lived through those events. Twenty-one countries lost citizens in the attack, making necessary an international collaboration between Scottish police and United States law enforcement. The narrative follows the investigation and the quest for justice by the victims' families.
