'When They See Us': The Cast vs. Their Real-Life Counterparts (PHOTOS)

The true crime genre has been pervading streaming platforms like Netflix for some time now, and the service's latest show When They See Us offers a new look at an infamous case.

Following the lives of the five teens of color who were labeled the Central Park Five — Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise — When They See Us is a four-part limited series that spans from the spring of 1989 to 2014. The teens were accused and convicted of a rape they did not commit back in 1989 and their story has continued to remain well-known through the decades.
