Why the ‘Leaving Neverland’ Sequel Won’t Be on HBO

A sequel to the bombshell 2019 documentary “Leaving Neverland” that featured the stories of two sexual abuse accusers of Michael Jackson will premiere on YouTube in the U.S. next month, not on HBO where the original film made waves after its Sundance premiere.
The documentary, titled “Leaving Neverland 2: Surviving Michael Jackson,” again follows accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck and is again directed by Dan Reed. This film, however, looks at Robson and Safechuck after they went public with their accusations against Jackson, including the “ongoing legal battle, the resulting personal toll, and the backlash they faced from Jackson’s global fanbase,” according to an official synopsis. The film also includes access to court hearings and other details about how Jackson’s team worked to prevent Safechuck’s legal case from reaching trial.
The film is an hour-long special that will first air on Channel 4 in the UK...
