‘Britney vs Spears’: Netflix Teases Trailer for Yet Another Documentary

Netflix just announced that the trailer for their upcoming documentary, 'Britney vs Spears' will drop tomorrow. But what new information will the documentary cover following 'Framing Britney Spears'? And was Britney Spears herself involved in making the film?

It’s been quite the year for Britney Spears. In addition to her public conservatorship battle, there have been quite a few documentaries made about her. Considering Spears has lived most of her life in the spotlight, there is plenty of material for filmmakers to analyze. Now, it seems as if Netflix is hopping on the bandwagon. The streaming giant just teased the trailer for an upcoming documentary entitled Britney vs Spears.

What is ‘Britney vs Spears’ about?

But what is Britney vs Spears about? Given the name, one can assume that the documentary will spotlight the singer’s fight to end her conservatorship with her family. Those who have been following Spears’ case will recall that the dancer accused her family of abusing her while she was under their conservatorship. She even told a judge that she wants the opportunity to sue her family for the damage they’ve inflicted.

Netflix teases the trailer for the upcoming documentary

“The following audio is a voicemail from Britney Spears to a lawyer on January 21st, 2009 at 12:29 a.m.,” a caption on Netflix’s teaser for Britney vs Spears reads. Soon thereafter, Spears’ dulcet voice can be heard trying to end her conservatorship. “Hi, my name is Britney Spears,” the “Lucky” singer begins. “I called you earlier. I’m calling again because I just want to make sure that during the process of eliminating the conservatorship…” she says before the clip abruptly ends.

Considering Framing Britney Spears released earlier this year, Spears’ fans may be wondering why Netflix is choosing to throw their hat into the ring now. However, Bloomberg reported that Britney vs Spears was in production prior to Framing Britney Spears. But will the Netflix documentary personally involve Spears herself and allow her to tell her own story?

Is Britney Spears involved in the upcoming Netflix documentary?

Though we don’t have all the details just about Britney vs Spears just yet, it is pretty unlikely that Spears had a hand in contributing to the Netflix documentary. In fact, back in May, Spears made an Instagram post that was critical of the many documentaries being made about her life.
