Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ezra Edelman, the project was in the works for five years before its recent cancellation.

Netflix will not release Ezra Edelman’s new documentary about the beloved musician Prince, who died at 57 in 2016. The Hollywood Reporter says the decision comes amid a new deal with the estate of the Purple Rain creator and pop sensation.

A planned documentary about the life and music of iconoclastic pop pioneer Prince has been canceled. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix reached a mutual agreement with the singer’s estate not to release the series after the estate raised concerns about allegations of emotional and physical abuse against Prince by a former paramour.
