Janet Jackson's Super Bowl Malfunction Documentary To Release On Hulu, FX

Janet Jackson's Super Bowl scandal that took place in 2004 will be explored in an upcoming documentary, "Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson."

Interestingly, the team behind the upcoming documentary is the same that released "Framing Britney Spears," earlier this year.

"Malfunction" is all set to release on the FX network and Hulu platform on Nov. 19. It will explore 2004's Super Bowl halftime show, where Justin Timberlake exposed Jackson's breast during the live performance.

The documentary will also shed light on the fact that Timberlake's career became more powerful after the incident but Jackson's career went downhill.

"Malfunction" will also deep dive into the cultural and racial aspects of the incident. The documentary will feature never-before-seen footage and interviews with the people involved with the show.

Jodi Gomes, who directed "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty" reality show in 2009, produced and directed the upcoming documentary.

In April, a source told PageSix that the documentary will be based on "the fallout and the suits who f****d over Janet [at] Viacom." In 2004, MTV, owned by Viacom, produced the halftime show and it was broadcast on the CBS network.

"They’re reaching out to everyone who was involved: dancers, stylists, directors. Everyone," the source revealed at that time. Jackson and Timberlake will not be in the documentary.

Jackson is currently busy with her own documentary, "JANET," which is under post-production and slated to release in January 2022. The 55-year-old singer was featured in a music video, "Love One Another," which was released on Aug. 5. She was last featured in a movie, "Jack Boyz," starring Katt Williams, Eve Jeffers and Keyshia Cole.

Timberlake, on the other hand, will feature in a crime thriller movie, "Reptile," which is slated to release next year. The movie is directed and penned by Grant Singer. It also stars Alicia Silverstone, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Pitt and Ato Essandoh.
