Netflix nearly gave the axe to this divisive docuseries.
Netflix has a reputation for canceling TV shows before they finish their stories, which often upsets viewers. Several shows, including The OA, The Society, and Sense8, have been canceled, leading to questions about Netflix’s choices. A recent report indicates that a controversial documentary almost met the same fate, and surprisingly, some viewers wanted it to be canceled.
According to Variety, the documentary series Michael Jackson: The Verdict almost didn’t come out, with executives reportedly having second thoughts just a week before its release. A source explained that pulling the project after releasing a trailer would have created significant negative attention. Concerns about backlash from Michael Jackson’s estate and his fans led to these doubts.
This three-part documentary series revisits the 2005 trial of Michael Jackson, where he was found not guilty of child molestation after a twelve-week case. Using original footage, police recordings, and interviews with people involved, the series takes a comprehensive look at this highly debated and controversial trial.
