The first trailer for SPECTOR, a four-part docuseries on Showtime and Sky about the life of the late music producer and convicted murderer Phil Spector, has been made available.
The four-part documentary, which was announced in August, will center on Spector’s 2009 conviction for the death of actress Lana Clarkson.
It will include both previously unreleased footage of Spector who, in a voiceover in the trailer, insists that he “had nothing to do with Clarkson’s death” and new interviews with others who knew him and Clarkson.
One character in the video says about Spector, “He did not want to be alone – he had abandonment issues,” while another claim, “Phil Spector enjoyed bringing people to his home and locking them inside.”
Documentary series SPECTOR, directed by Sheena M. Joyce and Don Argott and produced by Janet Ginsburg, “peels back the layers to tell the narrative both of Clarkson and the man who was convicted of her murder,” according to the series’ official synopsis.
The series, which was co-produced by Showtime and Sky, will debut on November 4 across both networks.
The BRIT Awards caused a stir last year when they featured an obituary for Phil Spector on their website instead of the customary In Memoriam segment shown on-screen at the awards program.
Spector was called the “pioneer of the renowned ‘Wall of Sound,’ who will equally be remembered for his conviction for the murder of the actress Lana Clarkson” in his obituary.
In January of this year, at the age of 81, Spector passed away after contracting COVID-19 in jail.
