Fox will finally air 2006 O.J. Simpson 'If I Did It' interview

More than a decade late, Fox will finally air a special interview with O.J. Simpson.

"O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession," will focus on an interview with the former Buffalo Bills running back and accused murderer, originally done in 2006 with Judith Regan to promote his book "If I Did It."

Hosted by Soledad O'Brien, the special will be "no-holds-barred," according to Fox, and Simpson "in his own words, offers a detailed _ and disturbing _ description of what might have happened on that fateful night of June 12, 1994."

That night, Simpson was arrested in connection with the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. In the so-called "trial of the century," Simpson was found not guilty.

The interview was axed at the time by Fox boss Rupert Murdoch after criticism from the families of Brown and Goldman, relatives who are now on board, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The special will air with domestic-violence awareness PSAs during its limited commercial breaks, according to Variety.

"O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession" airs March 11 at 8 p.m./7 p.m. Central, opposite the premiere of ABC's "American Idol," which used to air on Fox.
