Its release commemorates the 40th anniversary celebration of the pop icon's debut album. Janet — which was more than "five years in the making" and featured "never before seen footage" — was announced in March 2020 and was filmed around the time of the death of her father, Joe Jackson, in June 2018. In the new doc, the famously private star pulled back the curtain on her complicated relationships with her later father Joe and brother Michael, her ill-fated marriages to James DeBarge and RenĂ© Elizondo Jr, and her infamous Super Bowl halftime show in 2004 with Justin Timberlake. Janet is streaming on Hulu+ With Live TV.
