Netflix is just hours away from releasing a new Russell Brand documentary that will chart his rise and fall.

Titled Russell Brand: Open Secret, the documentary premieres on November 13 and follows the disgraced comedian from his earliest TV and film work to his highly publicised trial.

Directed by Oliver Isaacs, the documentary uses a mix of insiders’ voices and archival footage to offer deeper insight into Brand’s life, as well as the Times and Sunday Times investigation that brought him down.

The Times’ chief media correspondent Ros Urwin and investigations correspondent Charlotte Wace led the investigation into Brand nearly four years ago.

They, along with Channel 4 Dispatches, ultimately exposed Brand’s criminal behaviour, documenting a catalogue of abuse, sexual assault and rape allegations between 2006 and 2013.

Following the publication, the Metropolitan Police encouraged anyone who believed they had been the victim of a sexual assault to come forward.

This culminated in police launching an official investigation into Brand after they received multiple reports.

At the time, Brand, 51, dismissed the allegations as egregious and aggressive attacks by the media.
