The trailer for the new Netflix docuseries reveals an in-depth exploration of one of recent history's most infamous trials. Held from April 11 through June 1, 2022, the trial followed the resolution of movie star Johnny Depp's $50 million claim of defamation against his ex-wife Amber Heard, and her countersuit of $100 million. The televised trial became a media sensation, and viewership on the network app increased by a factor of 50 during the event.
has dropped the official trailer for their upcoming docuseries, which digs deep into the trial and its broader context.
The teaser presents the approach that the series is going to take, which is to place Depp and Heard’s testimony side by side.
It makes sense why Netflix would choose this particular approach to the Depp v. Heard trial. For one thing, the actual events of the trial have already been dramatized by Tubi's . That quickly-mounted streaming exclusive, which premiered in September 2022, featured actors playing Depp and Heard, as well as various figures from the real-life courtroom.
It is understandable why this trial has received so much attention.
Because it involves such prominent stars who live largely public lives, the trial was fodder for speculation and casual discussion. It remains to be seen what angle takes on the situation, for better or for worse. However, it can't be denied that the viewers are just as important as the participants themselves in the overall story of how the trial played out both as a piece of pop culture iconography and as an actual court case between two human beings.
