The eponymous feature-length Milli Vanilli documentary will premiere on Paramount+ next month.
Having debuted at the 2023 Tribeca Festival, the feature will begin streaming on the service Tuesday, October 24 in the US and Canada, and on Wednesday, October 25 in other regions.
Produced by MRC and Keep on Running Pictures, ‘Milli Vanilli’ tells the story of Robert ‘Rob’ Pilatus and Fabrice ‘Fab’ Morvan, who became fast friends during their youth in Germany.
With Rob coming from a broken home and Fab having left an abusive household, they shared a similar upbringing and future goal: to become famous superstars. In a few short years, their dreams came true.
In 1989 their first album went platinum six times in the U.S., and the hit song Girl You Know It’s True sold more than 30 million singles worldwide, with the duo winning the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1990.
However, their ascension to success came with a devastating price that ultimately led to their infamous undoing and after it was revealed that the pair didn’t sing a single note on their recordings, their career came to an abrupt end.
‘Milli Vanilli’ is directed and produced by Luke Korem, and produced by Bradley Jackson, MRC and Keep On Running Pictures in partnership with MTV Entertainment Studios.
Hanif Abdurraqib and Kim Marlowe serve as executive producers.
