Trailer For Netflix's Three-Part Docuseries DEPP V. HEARD Chronicling the Famed Couple's Court Case

Netflix has released the first trailer from their upcoming three-part docuseries, Depp v. Heard, which follows the actors and former spouses Johnny Depp and Amber Heard as they accused one another of defamation and abuse in a lengthy court hearing that played out in the media. The docuseries is directed by Emma Cooper, who previously helmed The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes.

The Netflix description of the series reads:

“Depp v. Heard is a three-part series examining the infamous defamation case that captured the world’s attention and became the world’s first trial by TikTok. Showing both testimonies side-by-side for the first time, this series explores this global media event, questioning the nature of truth and the role it plays in our modern society.”

“Depp v. Heard, the new limited series, covers the trial with the goal of presenting a neutral overview of what happens when the court of public opinion starts to overshadow reality. For the first time, the three-part series presents Depp and Heard’s testimony side-by-side, using 200 hours of live-streamed trial coverage from the mainstream news and citizen commentators on TikTok and Twitter. Ultimately, Depp v. Heard interrogates the role social media played in the trial, raising provocative, uncomfortable questions about how the conversations happening outside the courtroom may have influenced the outcome.”

This looks like an intriguing and condensed look at the trial for those who didn’t watch, or those who were obsessed with it all. Check out the trailer below, and watch Depp v. Heard on Netflix on August 16th.
