Netflix Sets Nov. 13 Release for Russell Brand Documentary

Netflix’s documentary Russell Brand: Open Secret, directed by Olivia Isaacs and produced by 72 Films, is set to stream on Nov. 13. It will trace Brand’s rise from comedian and film star to his criminal trial, drawing on interviews with people close to the story, archival footage and reporting by The Times and The Sunday Times. Brand was convicted in London of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, acquitted of two other rape charges and attempted indecent assault, and sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison. Police have confirmed an investigation into further rape allegations involving two women.
