Michael Jackson biopic sequel to address abuse allegations

A sequel to the Michael Jackson biopic is in development and is expected to address the child abuse allegations against the pop icon from his own perspective. Jaafar Jackson, who portrays his uncle in the film, stated that the follow-up aims to provide a counter-narrative to the accusations, which he believes are driven by external interests. While the first film focused on the early years of Jackson's career, it omitted specific references to sexual abuse allegations due to legal agreements.

The original biopic achieved unprecedented commercial success, becoming the highest-grossing biopic ever with over £1 billion in global box office revenue. The film is currently available for digital purchase or rental on various VOD platforms, including Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Google TV, featuring exclusive bonus content.
