Netflix has canceled the release of a nine-hour documentary about Prince, after years of development, due to creative differences with the late singer's estate. Directed by Ezra Edelman, the documentary includes insights from those close to Prince and allegations of abuse. The estate claimed that the documentary sensationalized Prince’s life events and contained inaccuracies. Instead, the estate will create its own film featuring exclusive content from Prince's archives, which they celebrated as 'freed' in a public statement. This transition reflects a focus on authentic representation of the artist's legacy.
After four years of development, Netflix will not release a nine-hour documentary on Prince, as his estate is set to produce a new film instead.
The completed documentary includes testimonies alleging abuse, but the estate has claimed it sensationalized his life, leading to the Netflix project's cancellation.
The Prince Estate announced a mutual agreement with Netflix, celebrating that their exclusive archive, known as the vault, will be used for a new documentary.
The estate's statement emphasized the importance of authenticity, stating, 'Despite everything, no one can dictate who you are to other people.'
