Casey Anthony is telling her side of the story in a new three-part limited series, Casey Anthony: Where The Truth Lies on Peacock.

Anthony's two-year-old daughter Caylee disappeared in 2008 and was found dead two weeks later in a wooded area near her home.

Anthony was charged with killing Caylee but was acquitted by a jury in 2011. However, she did serve prison time after being convicted on four counts of providing false information to law enforcement.

In the new series, Anthony reveals new details about the death of her daughter and accuses her father of drowning her in their pool.

"He was standing there with her," she said, according to People. "She was soaking wet. He handed her to me. Said it was my fault. That I caused it. But he didn't rush to call 911, and he wasn't trying to resuscitate her. I collapsed with her in my arms. She was heavy, and she was cold."

"He takes her from me, and he immediately softens his tone and says, 'It's going to be ok.' I wanted to believe him. He took her from me, and he went away."

Casey said she doesn't believe Caylee drowned accidentally and said her father killed her because he was sexually abusing the young girl.

"There was no ladder...no way for her to shimmy up. There's no way to explain that unless [George] put her in the pool to cover up what he did."

Casey also said that her father abused her.

"He'd put a pillow over my face and smother me to knock me out," she said. "That happened several times. I'm sure there were times where I was incapacitated as a child, where my body was limp and lifeless."

The three-part series will be available to stream starting on November 29.
