Nine-hour film will not be seen, after ‘mutual agreement’ between estate and Netflix, with estate announcing plans for its own film

The estate of the late funk superstar Prince has successfully blocked the release of a nine-hour Netflix documentary about him, made by the Oscar-winning creator of OJ: Made in America.

Netflix said in a statement to the Minnesota Star Tribune: “The Prince Estate and Netflix have come to a mutual agreement that will allow the estate to develop and produce a new documentary featuring exclusive content from Prince’s archive. As a result, the Netflix documentary will not be released.”
