The trailer released to promote the production claims it has been five years in the making, and includes never before seen footage.

Interview subjects for the documentary include Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, Q-Tip, Janelle Monae, Teyana Taylor, Tyler Perry, Samuel L. Jackson and many more. At the end of the trailer, Lifetime and A&E announce Janet Jackson. will air on Friday, January 28th at 8 p.m. ET for part one, and pat two will air the next night.
