The upcoming broadcast follows a tumultuous legal battle that saw a jury fail to reach a consensus on Lindsay’s guilt, ultimately forcing the judge to declare a mistrial.
Prosecutors have not yet confirmed whether they will mount a second attempt to try her for murder.
Lindsay stands accused of killing the couple's three young children - five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan - inside their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023.
Authorities allege the children were strangled with exercise bands whilst Patrick was out picking up food at his then wife's request.
Upon returning, he discovered his children and found Lindsay outside, having survived a leap from a second-storey window in a suicide attempt.
While the defence does not dispute that Lindsay took the children's lives, she entered a plea of not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.
Her legal team have argued she was experiencing severe postpartum psychosis exacerbated by heavy prescription medication.
The prosecution allege her actions were deliberate and calculated, asserting she was fully aware of her conduct.
