The program, a co-production between Channel 4 and HBO, generated intense media coverage and calls for Jackson's cancellation. While public reaction was polarized, Jackson's popularity endured. His music streams increased, a Broadway musical about his life became a major success, and international productions have followed. A big-budget Hollywood biopic is also now in production. Six years later, Reed has returned with a 49-minute sequel, Surviving Michael Jackson, focused on Robson and Safechuck's ongoing legal claims. The new documentary premiered with significantly less media attention and low viewership. In this roundtable episode, a panel of commentators reacts to the new program and explores its potential impact on Michael Jackson's legacy.See less
