The New York Times has released a new documentary about 90s pop princess Britney Spears - and it's causing quite the controversy. The most talked about doc of 2021 to date is out now in the US ahead of wider global distribution, so read on as we explain how to watch Framing Britney Spears and stream the documentary online today.
Framing Britney Spears charts the star's rise to fame, of course, featuring archival footage from as far back as 1992 when she introduced herself to US TV viewers aged just 11 on Star Search.
The only place to watch the new Britney Spears documentary online right now is in the US on streaming platform Hulu. Fortunately, you can try Hulu for FREE (opens in new tab) for 1-month to see if it's right for you.
But it doesn't stop there, with the documentary also focussing on more recent issues surrounding Spears' mental health and her legal battle against her father to regain control over her finances.
It specifically draws attention to the conservatorship arrangement in place with her Dad since 2008, which gives him considerable control over her monetary affairs. Originally resulting in a fan-led #FreeBritney social media movement, the new Britney documentary has shone a renewed light on that controversy, with fellow stars such as Sarah Jessica Parker tweeting their support of the Hit Me Baby One More Time singer.
Unfortunately, this Britney Spears documentary doesn't feature any new contributions from the star herself, but the joint Hulu and FX production has quickly found itself in the limelight. Already, it's been picked up by Sky in the UK, and you can expect streaming services and pay TV providers in other major global markets to grab it as soon as they can, too.
In the meantime, anyone in the US and UK can watch Framing Britney Spears and stream the Britney Spears documentary online right now.
