The documentary, “Janet” will air over two nights in January 2022 on the Lifetime channel and A&E to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her debut album, “Janet Jackson.”

“Janet” has been executive produced by Janet and her older brother, The Jackson 5 member, Randy Jackson. Rick Murray executive produces for Workerbee and Brie Miranda Bryant serves as executive producer for A&E Networks. Ben Hirsch is directing.

According to Variety, Jacksonā€™s very first album, which was a self-titled project, ā€œJanet Jackson,ā€ was released back in 1982 when she was only 16. “This is my story told by me, not through someone elseā€™s eyes. This is the truth. Take it or leave it, love it or hate it. This is me,” Jackson says in the trailer for the documentary.

The four-hour documentary, which was over five years in the making, follows Jackson as the Jackson family is going through the loss of the man who groomed them all for the music and entertainment business, their father, Joseph, who passed away back in 2018. The documentary also reveals selected footage and detailed accounts of some of Janet Jacksonā€™s biggest moments throughout her storied career, which includes the controversial 2004 Super Bowl appearance with fellow child actor turned singer Justin Timberlake (Formerly of the boy band group, Nsync).
