The preview drops almost one year since Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey was found not guilty of sex crimes. The U.S. presentation arrives courtesy of Channel 4 and Max, with Oscar-nominee Mike Lerner producing alongside ex-Channel 4 News boss Dorothy Byrne. The two-part docuseries begins airing on Monday, May 6 and concludes on May 7.
According to Channel 4, Spacey Unmasked “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 Unmasked examines the famed actor from films like Se7en, The Usual Suspects, American Beauty, and more through never-before-seen interviews and archive footage. The doc travels back to Spacey’s youth and early days on Broadway. It also reflects on the actor taking...

Max and ID have acquired U.S. rights to a Channel 4 documentary about Kevin Spacey.
The two-part doc, titled Spacey Unmasked, is billed as a “forensic look” at Spacey’s career and the allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct against him. Spacey was acquitted in July 2023 of nine charges in a U.K. criminal case.
The documentary will also include interviews with “multiple men unconnected to that case about their experiences with Kevin Spacey, almost all of whom have never spoken before,” along with other previously unseen archival footage and interviews with the actor.
Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner, faced nine criminal charges from four different men in his U.K. trial, ranging from unwanted touching to, according to testimony from one man, performing oral sex on the man while he was asleep. The charges stemmed from alleged acts that occurred from 2001 to 2013; Spacey was artistic director of London’s...

Edward Snowden will deliver this year's Channel 4 Alternative Christmas Message.
The 30-year-old Prism whistleblower will speak about why privacy matters and why he objects to mass indiscriminate surveillance by governments in his speech, which will air on the channel tomorrow (December 25).
Six months ago, Snowden brought global attention to top-secret National Security Agency (Nsa) documents, which led to the uncovering of widespread surveillance operated by the Us in collaboration with various other countries' security agencies.
The Alternative Christmas Message will be Snowden's first interview since arriving in Moscow after seeking asylum in Russia.
In his message, Snowden explains: "Great Britain's George Orwell warned us of the danger of this kind of information. The types of collection in the book - microphones and video cameras, TVs that watch us - are nothing compared to what we have available today.
"We have sensors in our pockets that track us everywhere we go.

London -- Channel 4 earned itself a firm rebuke from the government for commissioning and broadcasting a Christmas message from Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose previous dismissal of the Holocaust and refusal to abandon the pursuit of a nuclear capability have caused international dismay.
The broadcaster invited the Iranian president to deliver its annual "alternative Christmas message," which was broadcast on Christmas Day.
In a break with tradition, however, the network did not schedule Ahmadinejad's broadcast at the same time as the queen delivered her own annual Christmas message.
A spokesman for the British foreign office said the invitation to the Iranian president would likely cause "offense and bemusement" and that the broadcast's negative impact would be felt on an international scale.
"President Ahmadinejad has during his time in office made a series of appalling anti-Semitic statements," a spokeswoman said.
"The British media are rightly free to make their own editorial choices,...
