Watch the trailer for Channel 4’s new Marilyn Manson: Unmasked series, which begins next Tuesday (January 14) from 10pm.
Channel 4 are set to premiere a new three-part Marilyn Manson series next week.
Airing between Tuesday, January 14 and Thursday, January 16 at 10pm each night, Marilyn Manson: Unmasked will, according to a synopsis, unravel “the shocking story of one of rock music’s most polarising figures”, from his rise to the “chilling abuse allegations that have engulfed his career”.
The opening episode details Brian Warner’s emergence and early days as Manson, as well as the Columbine massacre – which he became a scapegoat for – and his general “influence on American youth”, with “early fans, collaborators and musicians” all reflecting on that time.
Then, episode two – which is entitled Allegations Of Abuse – examines the allegations of abuse against him, including testimonies from Evan Rachel Wood and other survivors (“I told my story,” says Evan. “But I was still just so terrified to name Brian because he still felt like he had all the power, and I had none”).
“This episode explores the patterns of control, manipulation, and violence that accusers say lay behind his public persona,” reads a description.
The third and final episode of Marilyn Manson: Unmasked is set to detail “the fallout from the allegations and their implications for the entertainment industry”, looking at lawsuits and investigations, police raids, and the #MeToo movement as a whole.
