A sequel to Channel 4’s Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland has been given a big update.
The 2019 TV movie chronicles the accounts of Wade Robson and James Safechuck, along with accusations that the deceased singer (Michael Jackson) had sexually abused them during their childhood. Despite these claims, both when he was alive and now through his estate, Jackson has consistently denied these allegations.
It’s official! The sequel movie titled “Surviving Michael Jackson” is set to debut on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on March 18th. Additionally, it will be available for streaming in the US and Canada on YouTube through Little Dot Studios’ Real Stories channel.
In the next installment, we’ll explore the ongoing effects on Robson and Safechuck after their legal struggle, the personal costs they endured, and the criticism they received from Michael Jackson’s worldwide fanbase following the release of the initial movie.
Through unique insight into court proceedings, the documentary uncovers the battle waged by MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures to keep the case out of court. (According to Variety)
Director Dan Reed expressed that premiering the film on YouTube is a way of eliminating barriers and making it more accessible to the public. Conventional platforms have limitations in terms of reach, but YouTube provides an exceptional opportunity for this story to be viewed by people at their convenience since it’s free to watch.
Little Dot Studios, known for their proficiency in digital dissemination and dedication to compelling narratives, makes them an excellent choice to bring your project to life. This announcement signifies a substantial leap in the way significant documentaries can be broadcast and stimulate widespread conversation.
Originally, the documentary titled “Leaving Neverland” was premiered by HBO in the United States. However, due to a legal dispute with Michael Jackson’s estate following a court ruling that HBO violated a non-disparaging clause in a 1992 contract for a concert movie of the Dangerous tour, HBO is not participating in the sequel production.
2020 saw the disclosure that Reed had been developing a sequel movie. At that point, the filmmaker mentioned that it would explore ongoing events, some parts of which would be visible to the public, and would present an evolving storyline from various perspectives.
The documentary titled “Leaving Neverland 2: Surviving Michael Jackson” is set to be aired on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on March 18. In the United States and Canada, it will be available for viewing on YouTube instead.
