“Russell Brand: Open Secret” is described as a documentary that follows Brand’s path “from comedian and film star to political activist and YouTuber known for spouting conspiracy theories — and ultimately to his headline-dominating criminal trial.”
The documentary will be available to stream on Netflix on Friday, November 13, the company said.
A London jury last Thursday convicted the British actor of rape and sexual assault in connection with allegations dating back more than two decades.
The 51-year-old was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women. He was acquitted of two additional rape counts and one count of attempted indecent assault.
During the trial, prosecutors described Brand as a “ruthless, calculating, manipulative sexual predator,” as The Daily Wire previously reported.
Brand denied the charges. But during the trial, he admitted to being obsessed with sex as a young man and having lived a promiscuous lifestyle, but insisted he had never forced anyone to do anything against their will.
“What fame gave me, and what my addiction fueled, was opportunity for endless consent,” he said in an interview in April. “That is wrong, and that is something that needs to be redeemed and addressed and atoned for. … Sex is a very powerful thing, it’s a gift, and I misused it.”
Brand has also recently become outspoken about Christianity and frequently discusses how he now finds joy in his faith and has moved on from his past life that was filled with drug and sex addiction.
On Monday, Brand was sentenced to a total of 10 years and six months behind bars. Justice Joel Bennathan called Brand a “sexual predator” with “staggering arrogance” and said he has “contempt” for his sexual partners, as he handed down the sentence.
Before Brand left the courtroom, he reportedly turned to his wife and mouthed, “I love you.”

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
