The Netflix documentary series tells the story of 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart's kidnapping from her own home in Salt Lake City in 2002 and the nine months she spent in captivity under Brian David Mitchell.

Netflix is launching the documentary series 'Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart' in 2026, revisiting one of the United States' most notorious kidnapping cases from 2002, when 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart was abducted from her Salt Lake City home.

Available across major platforms since its launch, the show examines cases ranging from Ted Bundy to the Chowchilla kidnapping, each episode standing alone within thematic series.
