A Janet Jackson documentary is in the works, with the star reportedly giving unprecedented intimate access and "leaving no stone unturned". The programme, which has the working title Janet , will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the star's self-titled debut album, released in 1982 when she was just 16, and is set to air early in 2022.

She will also talk about the death of brother Michael Jackson in 2009 and discuss her romantic relationships, as well as becoming a mother later in life, US network A&E said. … [Read more...] about Janet Jackson documentary: Two-part film to cover Michael Jackson and Super Bowl controversy
