Netflix is releasing a Russell Brand documentary.
On Thursday, days after the actor and comedian was found guilty of rape and three counts of sexual assault leading to a 10-year prison sentence, the streamer teased a feature documentary titled Russell Brand: Open Secret.
Directed by Olivia Isaacs (The Other Mrs Jordan) and produced by 72 Films (the Fremantle-owned company who made Netflix true crime documentary Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story), the film does not yet have a release date.
Combining interviews with archive footage, Russell Brand: Open Secret will chart Brand’s rise to fame and the Sept. 2023 joint investigation from The Times, The Sunday Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches — this coincided with the broadcast of Channel 4’s documentary Russell Brand: In Plain Sight. The reporting prompted the Metropolitan Police inquiry that led to Brand’s conviction and prison sentence in Nov. 2026.
