If there’s one thing every American can agree on, it’s that we don’t know enough about Justin Timberlake, the famed beatboxer and ex-boyfriend of Britney Spears who previously sang in a lesser-known band called NSYNC. Fear not, my fellow Americans – Apple TV allegedly has a four-part docuseries on the Memphis-born singer set to release next month, at least according to Variety, which says representatives for Timberlake and Apple TV declined to comment on the news.

Perhaps most shockingly, one source told Variety that Janet Jackson was involved with the documentary, though her reps also declined to comment on the story. Janet Jackson notably performed alongside Timberlake at the 2004 Super Bowl, where Timberlake accidentally tore Jackson’s costume to expose her breast on live television. The incident led to major fallout for Jackson, though not so much for Timberlake, who was invited to perform at the 2018 Super Bowl.

The news follows a relatively quiet period for Timberlake, who was arrested for a DWI in June 2024 just three months after the release of his fifth studio album Everything I Thought It Was. Back in August, Timberlake came out to perform a couple songs at a Don Toliver concert.
