YouTube Real Stories has secured rights to stream "Leaving Neverland 2: Surviving Michael Jackson," the sequel to the controversial documentary about Michael Jackson's alleged sexual abuse victims. The film will premiere in March across the US and Canada.

The hour-long documentary follows Wade Robson and James Safechuck as they seek justice for alleged abuse they experienced as minors. It documents their personal struggles and the public backlash following their accusations against Jackson.

Little Dot Studios acquired the streaming rights after HBO declined to co-produce the sequel due to legal conflicts with the Jackson estate. Director Dan Reed chose YouTube as the platform to make the content more accessible to viewers.

Key Details:

• Platform: YouTube Real Stories channel
• Availability: US and English-speaking Canada
• International distribution: Sphere Abacus
• Production team: Marguerite Gaudin (producer), Peter Haddon and Ben Hills (editors)

Real Stories, owned by All3Media's Little Dot Studios, has previously featured work from renowned documentarians including Alex Gibney, Nick Broomfield, and Kim Longinotto. Notable releases include "Trapped: Cash Bail in America" and "Into Dust."
