The Watcher on Netflix is what nightmares are made of. But did you know that it was the reality of Derek and Maria Broaddus

Where Are &#8216;The Watcher&#8217; Couple Now? Here’s What Happened to Derek and Maria Broaddus

In this rapidly growing world of OTT, Netflix has chosen true crime
documentaries as its weapon of choice. While there is variety in the content on
every OTT platform, Netflix is focusing on making brilliantly horrifying true
crime documentaries to continue its reign as the OTT Mughal. And boy, is it
doing the trick. Adding to its intriguing catalog of true crime documentaries
and drama series is The Watcher. The series revolves around the true events that
took place with Derek and Maria Broaddus right after they moved into the new
house.

Instead of a welcome gift, the couple started receiving a series of anonymous
threatening letters. As you finish streaming The Watcher, one question will
inevitably rise in your mind. Years after the incidents covered in the series,
what are the Broaddus couple up to? Where are they now?


WHAT IS THE WATCHER ABOUT?

The OTT Mogul has presented a real-estate nightmare in a seven-part long series
starring Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale. Additionally, The Watcher is directed
by the popular director Ryan Murphy, who, apart from directing iconic series
such as Glee, has also directed the Jeffrey Dahmer Story. To add stars to
Murphy’s direction is the solid screenplay written by Ian Brennan, who has also
written the shrill-inducing screenplay of the Jeffrey Dahmer series.

The Watcher follows Nora and Dean Brannock, AKA Derek and Maria Broaddus, in
real life as they purchase 657 Boulevard

What looked like a dream house from afar became their worst nightmare. The
series checks of all the boxes of things that could go wrong when you move into
a new house. From bad neighbors to a creepy stalker threatening to take their
children, Derek and Maria Broaddus saw it all.


WHAT HAPPENED TO DEREK AND MARIA BROADDUS?

If you have come here fresh after watching the series on Netflix
[https://www.netflix.com/title/81380441], then you may not know that the
‘Watcher’ was never caught. Whoever was behind those awful letters sent to Derek
and Maria Broaddus was never caught.

The couple purchased the house for $1.3 million in 2014 and six horrifying
months full of creepy neighbors and horrifying letters later put it on the
market. However, 657 Boulevard could only be sold in 2019 at the disappointing
price of $959,000.

After getting the fright of their lives in that house, Derek and Maria Broaddus
moved with their kids after borrowing money. As per reports, they used an LLC
(limited liability company) in order to be safe. The couple still live in
Westfield and the Watcher still remains unscathed.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
