ABC News is set to tell the stories of some of America’s biggest entertainment icons via its all-new primetime series, ‘Superstar.’
Dedicating multiple one & two-hour specials to names who have helped shape Pop culture over the years, viewers will be introduced to never-before-seen footage that chronicles the lives of Kobe Bryant, Robin Williams, and many more.
Kicking off with an episode dedicated to legendary Pop diva Whitney Houston, look inside to see the official trailer and more series details.
Premiering August 11, the TV event – which comes in a string of ventures related to Houston’s life since her untimely 2012 death – will arrive 2 days after what would’ve been her 58th birthday.
Ahead of her big screen biopic, due in theaters Thanksgiving 2022, ‘Superstar’ will reportedly delve into the diva’s background and meteoric rise to fame. Viewers will not only see previously unreleased footage from her career but will also get to hear from some of the ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer’s closest industry friends including Brandy, Chaka Khan, BeBe Winans, Narada Michael Walden, and more.
Speaking on the forthcoming series, David Sloan (senior executive producer of Network Primetime Content) said:
“It is exciting to watch the legacy ‘20/20’ brand expand, first with ‘Truth and Lies’ and now with the ‘Superstar’ series. Our talented team uses the skills they’ve honed from producing two-hour ‘20/20’ programs to provide unmatched reporting and fresh insight into these icons.”
The episodes will be available for streaming on Hulu the day after they air on ABC.
Come through Whitney Elizabeth Houston. You are a Queen just like yours faithfully. The peasants will deal and die. The REAL QUEEN of TGJ has spoken 👑👑🤳🏽💯
and all peasants who refer to you as “Crackney Houston” are ghetto nobodies with NO FLAVOUR! Rest In Peace darling. SCREAMING 🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣💯
Only trashy ashy bish will talk about FLAVORS, so you are fraud.
and who might you be?? 😂😂🤣🤣💯
Thank you, WHO is this Master P wannabe lmaooooooooo 🤣 🤳🏽
No one else was available
Weedney Houston still smoking crack above cloud 9, her soul never die!
Still trying to be what you can’t achieve. Get your own screen name
This account name is mine. So f*** off imposter
Ok she preferred weed
Brandy is the most ugliest Cinderella ever
I wonder what your phat ass look like
Clearly ABC has run out of fresh ideas and lacks creativity, so they’ve chosen to exploit the memories of dead celebrities in hopes of boosting ratings. And I thought their revival of American Idol was their lowesr point.
Ray J killed Whitney and Brandy helped cover it up.
And Monica next album will flop harder than cold blue. Now go fine your ugly ass something to do
I hate how she’s no longer with us yet behind the scenes, people continue profiting off her death. Everyone should have given Whitney her flowers while alive.
Stop waiting until someone die to acknowledge their briilance. When Whitney died, she had no real friends or support team.
Being called THE Voice and the diva blueprint since her late 20’s wasn’t enough flowers?
before the film with anthony
No mariah oh ok.. y’all was friends right
