Foxtel and Binge have confirmed an Australian release date for the four-part HBO docuseries ALLEN v. FARROW, from award-winning investigative filmmakers Kirby Dick, Amy Ziering and Amy Herdy.

The revealing docuseries goes behind decades of sensational headlines to reveal the private story of one of Hollywood’s most notorious and public scandals: the accusation of sexual abuse against Woody Allen involving Dylan, his then seven-year-old daughter with Mia Farrow; their subsequent custody trial, the revelation of Allen’s relationship with Farrow’s daughter, Soon-Yi; and the controversial aftermath in the years that followed.

Once celebrated for their on-partnership both on and off screen, Farrow and Allen’s lives were irrevocably fractured and their sprawling family torn apart with the public disclosure of the abuse allegations and the vitriolic disputes that followed.
