Netflix has unveiled a documentary on Russell Brand, days after the comedian and former actor received a prison term of 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault.

“Russell Brand: Open Secret” is directed by Olivia Isaacs and produced by Fremantle-owned 72 Films, the company behind “Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story.” The film follows Brand from his rapid ascent in comedy to his sharp fall after allegations of sexual offenses, through to his criminal trial. No premiere date was announced.
