The two-part documentary will be released this month.
A two-part documentary about Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard will be released on 20 September on Discovery+.
Titled Johnny vs Amber: The US Trial, the documentary features interviews with Depp’s lawyers, legal experts and journalists in regards to the trial which was held this year.
"With intimate access to Johnny Depp’s lawyers, legal experts and journalists, the series gives a forensic account of the key evidence and turning points of the case from both sides, allowing viewers to make up their own minds about who to believe," reads the synopsis.
The trial took place in Virginia between April and June and ultimately saw Depp win.
The actor sued Heard for defamation over a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, where she wrote about being a survivor of domestic violence.
While his name isn’t mentioned in the piece, Depp’s lawyers argued it falsely implies she was sexually and physically abused by him in their marriage.
Heard filed a counterclaim, arguing he created a smear campaign against her.
The trial concluded in June with the jury siding with Depp, who was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages.
Heard was awarded $2 million for her counterclaim against Depp.
After the trial, Heard announced that she would be appealing the verdict via a spokesperson.
