A feature-length documentary is coming to Hulu, co-created by Buzzfeed News, who broke the original story of the numerous women alleged to be kept in captivity as sexual servants, brainwashed by Kelly in his home.

Buzzfeed News reporter Jim DeRogatis and editor Marisa Carroll, who worked on the initial story of the 'sex cult,' will provide the material the documentary is based around. Never-before-heard (and-seen) access to survivors of Kelly's assault, interviews with the musicians associates, and commentary from DeRogatis are all promised as part of the new film. Documentary filmmaker Lyric Cabral is slated to direct.
Lifetime announced their own R. Kelly-related content earlier this month, saying they would be making a documentary series as well as a made-for-TV movie.
