Discovery+ UK is set to release a gripping new docu-series that delves into the high-profile legal battle between It Ends With Us star Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni. This new addition follows in the footsteps of previous high-stakes documentaries, including Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard and Rebekah Vardy vs Coleen Rooney, which have dominated headlines in recent years.
Scheduled for release in June, the series will provide an in-depth exploration of the ongoing legal dispute, offering a forensic examination of the events leading up to the impending court cases. The docu-series will take viewers behind the scenes of the controversy, offering insight into the twists and turns of a Hollywood feud that has captivated the industry.
According to Deadline, the controversy erupted when Blake Lively filed a legal complaint against Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual misconduct on the set of It Ends With Us. Lively also alleged that Baldoni had hired a PR firm to launch an online smear campaign against her in an attempt to silence her. In response, Baldoni has denied the allegations and filed a countersuit worth $400 million, claiming defamation.
This new docu-series joins a growing list of fast-turnaround projects, including a similar production aired earlier this month by Investigation Discovery and Channel 5. The saga between Lively and Baldoni has been making waves in trade headlines throughout 2025, and this documentary promises to provide a closer look at the complex legal battle.
The announcement of the Lively vs Baldoni docu-series came alongside a wider slate of scripted and unscripted content for Warner Bros. Discovery platforms. Charlotte Reid, VP of commissioning at Warner Bros. Discovery, commented on the new content: “We’re excited to announce over 50 hours of content, both bringing back and building on some of our well-loved formats, like ‘vs,’ and introducing new talent and new ideas to our platforms.”
In addition to the Lively-Baldoni series, Discovery+ UK will also air a documentary about the Luis Rubiales-Jenni Hermoso controversy following the infamous kiss incident that overshadowed Spain’s victory against England in the 2023 Women’s Soccer World Cup.
With this documentary, Discovery+ continues its commitment to producing fast-turnaround content that taps into current headlines, keeping audiences engaged with real-time events. The legal drama between Lively and Baldoni is poised to be another compelling chapter in the vs series, offering viewers an inside look at one of Hollywood’s most talked-about feuds.
