Duffy, the Welsh singer-songwriter who had a massive hit with “Mercy” in 2008 and then retreated from the limelight, is set to tell her story in a new Disney+ documentary.

The announcement was made at Series Mania on Wednesday by Angela Jain, Disney+’s head of content for EMEA, in a keynote address. In 2020, Duffy revealed in a social media post that she had stepped away from music in 2011 after being kidnapped and raped.
