The six-part series will focus on the events surrounding the 1988 bombing and the subsequent investigation
The production company behind United, which focused on the Munich air disaster, and Anne, which told the story of Hillsborough campaigner Anne Williams, has been commissioned to make a six-part factual drama about the Lockerbie bombing.
Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, a former Libyan intelligence officer, is so far the only man convicted in relation to the bombing, after being found guilty of 270 counts of murder by a panel of three Scottish judges, sitting at a special court in the Hague in 2001. The BBC and Netflix have commissioned World Productions to make Lockerbie, which will focus on the real events surrounding the bombing and the joint Scots-American investigation into the terrorist attack.
Novelist and screenwriter Jonathan Lee is the lead writer for the new series, with two episodes written by Scottish screenwriter Gillian Roger Park.
