Jason Sarlanis knows that for some people, the Investigation Discovery network has stood for one thing: murder mysteries, frequently gruesome in nature and usually told in self-contained hourlong episodes. But with the success of docuseries “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” that perception is quickly changing.
“It has been a fundamental shift for us,” says Sarlanis, who is president of TNT, TBS, TruTV and Hln in addition to ID. “It has brought a spotlight back to all the other things that are outside of the lane of what people expect an ID show to be.”
Those include recent limited series like “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace” and “Jared From Subway: Catching a Monster,” as well as partnerships with producers Octavia Spencer (whose output for the network includes docuseries “Lost Women of Highway 20” and “Feds”) and Michael Bay.

Liam Neeson, Sharon Stone, and several others actors have voiced their support for Kevin Spacey, calling for his return to the film industry after accusations of sexual misconduct largely derailed his career since 2017.
The statements of support were given by Spacey’s friends — including Neeson, Stone, F Murray Abraham, and Stephen Fry — to The Telegraph in the wake of new allegations being levied against him by the Max documentary Spacey Unmasked.
“Kevin is a good man and a man of character,” Neeson said. “He’s sensitive, articulate and non-judgmental, with a terrific sense of humor. He is also one of our finest artists in the theater and on camera. Personally speaking, our industry needs him and misses him greatly.”
Spacey went to trial in 2022 for allegedly making an unwanted sexual advance towards a then-14-year-old Anthony Rapp, but was found not liable. Likewise, last year, he faced 12 charges in a...

Kevin Spacey addressed the latest accusations against him tonight during a live TV appearance on NewsNation’s Cuomo.
In his first live appearance in years, Spacey told host Chris Cuomo he “wants to get back to work” and has “learned” from his experiences.
“I’m trying to show that I’ve listened. I’ve learned. I’ve got the memo,” Spacey said. “I feel very strongly that whatever mistakes I’ve made in my life, that I paid a price.”
A two-part documentary, “Spacey Unmasked,” recently aired in the U.K. and is now streaming on Max. It examines Spacey’s alleged sexual misconduct, including a claim that he allegedly groped another House of Cards actor on set.
Spacey denies the new allegations of inappropriate behavior from the men who were featured in the documentary.

Update: In his first mainstream television interview in years (excerpted by THR), Kevin Spacey sat down with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation to address what’s being seen as resistance (by some) to his return to acting. While he acknowledges those who have supported him, such as Neeson and Stone, he blames fear for the fact that many have only reached out to him privately rather than publically. “But there are also people that I’ve spoken to who, they love me, they believe in me. They’ve stood with me in private… but they’re afraid to stand up. And I’ve been very fortunate that people have been honest with me about that. And I think that’s a shame, that we’ve come to a place as a society where people are afraid to say what they believe and what they feel because they’re afraid they’re going to get canceled too.

Kevin Spacey spoke to Chris Cuomo in a NewsNation interview on Thursday that marked his first television appearance in years.
During the interview, Spacey said he is “so much happier today, living a more authentic and open life.”
“Now, I want to prove that I’m a man of great character,” he said. “I look forward to being able to prove to people that that I am the merit of who I am as a human being.”
Spacey has not worked in Hollywood since several men accused him of sexual misconduct beginning in 2017. In 2022, a New York jury deemed he was not liable in the 1980s assault of actor Anthony Rapp, and last summer, he was acquitted of nine charges brought against him in London. Several other lawsuits have also been dropped, but this month, 10 more men came forward with alleged abuse in Spacey Unmasked, a two-part Channel 4 documentary directed by Katherine Haywood.

Liam Neeson, Sharon Stone and Stephen Fry have come forward with unequivocal support for Spacey as the much-accused actor has been back in the spotlight via new Channel 4 docuseries with even more allegations of severe misconduct.

Sharon Stone, Liam Neeson and more actors are coming to the defense of Kevin Spacey and calling for his return to the industry at large. Spacey has not worked in Hollywood since being accused by several men of sexual misconduct starting in 2017. The two-part documentary “Spacey Unmasked” recently aired in the U.K. and is now streaming on Max and features previously unheard of testimonies about Spacey’s alleged sexual misconduct, including a claim that he allegedly groped another “House of Cards” actor on set.
In statements given to The Telegraph, Stone and Neeson were joined by the likes of Stephen Fry and F. Murray Abraham in their calls for Spacey’s return. Abraham himself was accused of sexual misconduct during the production of the Apple TV+ series “Mythic Quest,” which reportedly led to his firing.

In May 2022, when Katherine Haywood began making calls for a Channel 4 documentary she’d been brought on to direct and produce, it wasn’t long before she was “hearing stories of inappropriate behavior.”
Production on the “forensic” documentary Spacey Unmasked, diving into the allegations of sexual misconduct that have toppled Kevin Spacey’s career, started before his U.K. trial had been announced that same May — it even put a “brake” on things, Haywood reveals, as Channel 4 had to wait until after a verdict was reached. He was later acquitted of nine charges brought against him in London in July 2023, but Haywood and her team had found others, uninvolved in the trial, who wanted to tell their stories, too.
“I set out to talk to as many people as I could and understand what the story is,” Haywood tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I tried to contact men and women,...

Kevin Spacey may have been found not guilty in his 2023 sex offense trial, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be easily creeping back into the public consciousness…at least not the way he wants. Even with that verdict, there are still new accusations being made against the two-time Oscar winner, with the most recent triggering Spacey to launch into a rant on social media.
Ahead of next week’s airing of the two-part docuseries Spacey Unmasked, Kevin Spacey took to X to...

In October 2017, Hollywood became the story. The New York Times’ blockbuster investigation of Harvey Weinstein shook the entertainment industry, unleashing a torrent of stories about harassment, abusive bosses, and exploitative power dynamics. The vast majority of victims who came forward were women, but just three weeks into what is now known as the #MeToo era, actor Anthony Rapp (Rent, Star Trek: Discovery) spoke out against Kevin Spacey, accusing the Oscar winner of drunkenly molesting him when he was 14 years old. Rapp said he wanted to “shine another light on the...

Less than 10 months after Kevin Spacey was found not guilty of sexual assault allegations brought by four men in a U.K. court, a new documentary series is due to air featuring previously unheard of testimonies about the actor’s alleged sexually inappropriate behavior.
The two-part “Spacey Unmasked,” which airs in the U.K. on May 6 and 7 on Channel 4 and will stream on Max in the U.S. having been acquired by ID, features interviews with 10 individuals — none of whom were connected to the trial — all describing their experiences with Spacey. The testimonies span five decades and involve alleged incidents that took place in Los Angeles, New York and London, in cinemas, at parties and on the set of “House of Cards.” Nine of those speaking in the docuseries haven’t shared their stories before.
Spacey has already fired back against the documentary. Variety understands that he was offered...

Kevin Spacey is pushing back against the Channel 4 documentary Spacey Unmasked, billed as a “forensic look” at his career and the allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct against him, ahead of a U.K. premiere on May 6-7.
“I will not sit back and be attacked by a dying network’s one-sided ‘documentary’ about me in their desperate attempt for ratings,” Spacey said in a long thread on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday. The Channel 4 doc comes in the wake of Spacey being acquitted in July 2023 of nine charges in a U.K. criminal case, and will air on Max and Investigation Discovery, though no U.S. premiere dates have been announced.
In his social media post, Spacey rejected the British broadcaster as the right forum for addressing his controversial past: “There’s a proper channel to handle allegations against me and it’s not Channel 4. Each time I have...

Kevin Spacey on Thursday has vowed to respond to new allegations that are being put forth in the docuseries Spacey Unmasked, which will air in the UK on Channel 4 on May 6-7 and also in the U.S. via Max and Investigation Discovery.
The docuseries, Channel 4 has said, “investigates Spacey’s conduct and talks to multiple men unconnected to [last year’s] case about their experiences with Kevin Spacey, almost all of whom have never spoken before.”
Spacey, who has faced multiple allegations of sexual assault and but last year was found not guilty on nine charges at London’s Southwark Crown Court relating to four men, says he has asked for a chance to respond to the docuseries’ content but has not been given sufficient time to do so.
“Over the last week, I have repeatedly requested that @Channel4 afford me more than 7 days to respond to allegations made against me...
