Overview

• Netflix confirmed its acquisition of aka Charlie Sheen and set a Sept. 10 premiere in tandem with the documentary’s first trailer release on Aug. 13.
• The trailer delivers blunt, graphic testimony from Sheen, a former drug dealer and industry figures including Heidi Fleiss, signalling raw personal reckonings.
• Interviews with Jon Cryer, Denise Richards, Sean Penn and Chuck Lorre revisit Sheen’s Malibu upbringing, his 2011 firing from Two and a Half Men and seven years of sobriety.
• Andrew Renzi directs the project produced by Skydance, North of Now, Boardwalk Pictures and Atlas Independent, with Sheen absent from producer credits to ensure editorial autonomy.
• Netflix is timing the documentary’s launch to follow the Sept. 9 release of The Book of Sheen, reinforcing a coordinated promotional push.
