Explosive Discovery+ docuseries uncovers the legal drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over sexual misconduct allegations

"We're excited to announce over 50 hours of content - Charlotte Reid, Warner Bros. Discovery VP"

Washington DC, April 1

A docu-series covering the legal drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni and their narratives, which has been creating headlines in Hollywood, is now heading towards Discovery+ in the UK, reported Deadline.

It follows similar Discovery+ shows on Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard and Rebekah Vardy vs Coleen Rooney.

Coming to Discovery+ in June, the show will follow the twists and turns of the legal dispute between the 'It Ends With Us' star and director. As per the outlet, the docu series will provide a forensic look into the lead-up to the impending court cases.

The news follows Investigation Discovery and Paramount-owned Channel 5 teaming on a similar fast-turnaround doc from ITN Productions, which aired earlier this month, reported Deadline. The twisty-turny saga has dominated trade headlines through 2025.

As per the outlet, the controversy stemmed after a legal complaint was filed by Blake Lively against Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual misconduct on the set of 'It Ends With Us' by director Justin Baldoni. She also accused him of hiring a PR firm to engage in an online smear campaign against her to keep her quiet.

Baldoni denies the allegations and has responded with a 400M USD countersuit, accusing Lively of defamation.

News of the Baldoni vs Lively: A Hollywood Feud series came as part of a wider announcement of scripted and unscripted series for WBD, reported The Hollywood Reporter.

"We're excited to announce over 50 hours of content, both bringing back and building on some of our well-loved formats, like 'vs', and introducing new talent and new ideas to our platforms," Charlotte Reid, VP of commissioning at Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a statement on Monday, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

The show was on a Discovery+ UK slate that also includes a doc about Spain's Luis Rubiales and Jenni Hermoso following the infamous kiss that overshadowed Spain's win against England in the 2023 Women's Soccer World Cup, reported Deadline.

Another celebrity legal battle turned into entertainment... feels a bit icky to profit off people's real-life struggles. But I guess if it's done respectfully, it could shed light on important industry issues. 🤔

The Depp/Heard doc was actually really well done - balanced and informative. If this follows that format, I'll definitely watch. Just hope they don't sensationalize it too much.

Blake Lively has always seemed so classy, this whole situation is shocking! 😳 I hope the truth comes out, whatever it may be. These kinds of allegations shouldn't be taken lightly.

$400M countersuit? That's insane money. Makes you wonder what's really going on behind closed doors in Hollywood. The power dynamics in these situations are always so complex.

I'm torn about this - on one hand, awareness is good. On the other, turning legal battles into entertainment feels exploitative. Wish they'd wait until after the court cases are settled.

Baldoni always seemed like a stand-up guy from his interviews. Either someone's lying big time or there's some major misunderstanding here. Hope the doc presents both sides fairly.
