Framing Britney Spears, the documentary delving into the pop star’s conservatorship history, was just the beginning. Netflix has announced a new film on the singer is in the works, with the filmmaker of Mommy Dead and Dearest attached to direct.

Erin Lee Carr is a documentarist renowned for her works at the intersection of femininity and justice. She is behind many true crime stories, such as the documentary about the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard, released in 2007. Mommy Dead and Dearest then spawned the Hulu series adaptation The Act, starring Patricia Arquette and Joey King. Her last credit is a miniseries for Netflix called How to Fix a Drug Scandal.

Carr will release a documentary on Spears, zeroing in on how her father Jamie Spears and her former manager Lou M Taylor came to control her finances and career.

Netflix’s still untitled project will be the second major documentary to be released focusing on the singer.

The latest in The New York Times Presents series, Framing Britney Spears has shed some much-needed light on Spears’ more recent years.

Directed and produced by Samantha Stark, the documentary explores Britney's conservatorship. Her father Jamie Spears has been her conservator for 12 years, due to concerns about her mental health. In November 2020, she lost a legal attempt to remove his control over her estate.

Fans of the pop star think the singer is being controlled against her will. This theory, also fueled by Spears’ cryptic Instagram posts, originated the #FreeBritney movement, with Spears’ lovers trying to drive attention to her case.

What Didn’t Make The ‘Framing Britney Spears’ Final Cut

Stark and Senior Story Editor Liz Day recently discussed what didn’t make the final cut for the documentary.

Day said she would’ve been interested to address how Spears’ ex-boyfriend/fiancé and manager Jason Trewick became her co-conservator in the early 2010s.

“I wish we could’ve explored that further. I think it must’ve been a very interesting dynamic to have your boyfriend or your partner also […] having special powers and decision-making ability over your personal life,” Day said.

“It was hard to include [that] in the film because, when you gloss over it like that, is like ‘Wait, what,’” director Stark added.

“There’s all this kind of shocking things in Britney’s story… there’s much more to tell about it,” she added.

Netflix’s documentary might just be able to include some elements that Framing Britney Spears had to leave out.
