Janet Jackson is bringing her story to Lifetime in the form of a two-night documentary event.
And she’s leaving no stone unturned.
Full story below…
The network announced the project, tentatively titled ‘JANET,’ moments ago.
Set for a 2022 debut, the doc has been filming footage for three years.
Produced by Workerbee and Associated Entertainment, the project promises unprecedented access to the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s life, as well as a raw and unvarnished account of one of the highest-grossing and charting acts of all time.
The two-night, four-hour documentary event joins Janet as her family is going through another extremely difficult time, mourning the loss of her father Joseph, the pivotal figure in the Jackson dynasty.
The documentary also details Janet’s return to the world stage following a sudden break from music. Speaking like never before, “Janet also discusses everything including her Super Bowl appearance with Justin Timberlake in 2004, the death of her brother Michael and becoming a mother later in life. And with her own romantic relationship having broken down, she starts to look back at her own life and reflect on her fight to the top.”
Janet Jackson and Randy Jackson are executive producers.
The project, which arrives in the 40th anniversary year of her debut album, will air on both Lifetime and A&E, two of the flagship channels of the A+E Networks portfolio.
We’re all sorts of excited. Are you?

Lifetime? Gurl, u couldn’t get a Netflix deal or an disney plus deal?
Janet u deserve better than trashy low budget lifetime
For once I agree with you f**!!!
Its also on A&E.
Lifetime and A&E are definitely not the right fit for her brand.
Come thru! . One of the last enigmatic icons giving us a personal view. I hope music and a tour follows
That Black Diamond album and tour should hopefully be coming!
Chile please it ain’t coming
It will cüm all over yo face when it drop 💦💯
Am excited can’t wait. Go Girl you deserve better 👍👍👍💗
This shall be interesting. I wonder what kind of tea she will spill?
DEF EXCITED BUT NOT WAITING A WHOLE YEAR!
I Was hoping for Netflix – but it’s immediately clear the two part 4 hour rollout does not fit the typical Netflix/Disney broadcast format and her team obviously didn’t want to trim it down for a legend whose career spans more than 3 decades. We don’t know if the coin 💰💰💰was sweeter at Lifetime but let’s face it any network is gonna pay top dollar for this retrospective. Will be watching 👀
MUVA Janet! ❤️🌎🤳🏽 Sewer & Stench could NEVER EVER 😂

👅👅👅👅
It’s all about CONTROL and Ms Janet you got all of it
This is what i’ve been waiting on but Janet is FAR better than Lifetime, HBO should have bought this!
She cut ties with HBO after their Neverland documentary.
♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m here for it.
Janet(whom I worked with) won’t disappoint.
“Like a moth to a flame burned by the fire, my love is blind can’t you see my desire, that’s the way love goes. This song among others is one of my favs from Janet. Luv luv…☺️
I look forward to seeing what Ms. Jackson and company put together….
She deserves to be on Netflix, HBOmax, Prime or Hulu, but I’m definitely going to find a way to watch! ❤️
