As the world is anxiously awaiting the final hearing of Britney Spears’s conservatorship case, Netflix announces a new documentary exploring the pop star’s battle to end her conservatorship.

On Tuesday, the streaming giant dropped the teaser trailer for the film, which will be titled Brtiney vs Spears, features a recording of Spears leaving a message for her attorney in a clip from 2009. The 18-second clip begins with text stating, “The following audio is a voicemail from Britney Spears to a lawyer on January 21st, 2009 at 12:29 a.m.”

The documentary is directed by Erin Lee Carr and has been in the works for over a year according to Variety. It’s unlikely that Spears herself will be involved in the project, but it will include some key figures in her life.

This doc follows in the footsteps of Hulu and the New York Times’ Framing Britney Spears, which was released earlier this year and significantly increased public interest in Spears’ unusual 13-year long conservatorship. In the aftermath of Framing Britney Spears, the singer received a wave of support on social media from fans who have been campaigning for her freedom. Earlier this month, Spears’ father Jamie, asked a judge to end the conservatorship.

It’s been over a month since FX and Hulu unveiled the hit documentary Framing Britney Spears, and people still can’t stop talking about it. Other TV networks and streaming services are currently trying to replicate their success by plotting their own documentaries about Spears’ troubled life.

Most recently, the BAFTA-winning journalist Mobeen Azhar revealed he’s developing a documentary about the #FreeBritney movement for BBC. He met many people close to the singer and talked to some of her super fans in an attempt to questions the industry, fandom, and the laws that led to Spears’ conservatorship.

BBC isn’t the only network developing their own documentary about the “Toxic” singer in the wake of Framing Britney Spears. This news comes shortly after Netflix announced they entrusted the true-crime documentary filmmaker Erin Lee Carr with developing a Britney Spears documentary for this streaming service.

Spears’ fans weren’t too thrilled about this news, because it’s highly unlikely the singer will profit off of these projects. Competing documentaries, however, aren’t anything new and it’s not difficult to develop them pretty quickly due to their low cost. We’re yet to see if they’ll have anything new to say, but Spears received a wave of support after the original documentary made us re-examine the role that the tabloid media plays in celebrities’ lives.
