A film about the life and career of British TV presenter Caroline Flack is on its way from Disney+ and will air later this year.
Caroline, the project’s working title, is an original feature length documentary film following Christine, Caroline’s mother, as she seeks to understand the events in the final months of her daughter’s life.
The doc will feature first-hand testimony, among them Caroline’s family and friends, as Christine embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about the circumstances that led to the star taking her own life on Feb. 15, 2020, shortly after she was charged with assaulting her then-boyfriend Lewis Burton.
Flack was a high-profile TV personality in the U.K., known as the host of some of the country’s biggest shows, including Love Island and The X-Factor. In 2014, she won the twelfth series of beloved celebrity dance competition Strictly Come Dancing.
The film will be produced by Curious Films, the production company behind the 2021 doc Caroline Flack: Her Life and Death, and will premiere on Disney+ in 2025.
“I still have so many questions about what happened to Caroline in her final months, and it’s something I feel deeply compelled to explore, even though I know it will be challenging,” Christine Flack said. “I’m pleased to be working with the team at Curious Films once again, in the hope of bringing clarity and understanding to Carrie’s story – not just for her, but for everyone who cared about her.”
Caroline will be executive produced by Dov Freedman, Charlie Russell and Jessie Versluys for Curious Films. The documentary will be directed by Christian Collerton and produced by Sophie Clayton-Payne. It was commissioned by Sean Doyle, Executive Director, Unscripted and is executive produced by Gaby Aung, Senior Manager, Unscripted for Disney+.
“It’s not often that you feel the need to return to a subject, but nearly five years after Caroline’s tragic death, we know there are still many unanswered questions for Christine and her family that need to be addressed,” said Dov Freedman, executive producer, Curious Films.
“We’re proud to be collaborating with the Flack family once again, working together to seek some form of resolution to the tragic events surrounding Caroline’s death.”
