"Baldoni vs. Lively: A Hollywood Feud" Docuseries in Works

The ongoing legal saga between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is far from over and is proving to be a major source of inspiration for documentary makers.

Just weeks after ITN Productions unveiled the swiftly-made “He Said, She Said: Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni,” Warner Bros. Discovery U.K. & Ireland has announced “Baldoni vs. Lively: A Hollywood Feud.”

Announced among a slate of new unscripted commissions, the docuseries — produced by Optomen — will follow the “battle that’s shaking up Hollywood” and offer a “forensic” look into the lead-up to the impending court cases between the actor and her “It Ends With Us” director. 

It will launch on Discovery+ in June in the U.K. Meanwhile, for U.S. viewers, “In Dispute: Lively v. Baldoni” is airing on ID and will be available to stream on Max and Discovery+.

“Baldoni vs. Lively: A Hollywood Feud” is the latest in WBD’s “vs” true crime series, which so far has includes “Johnny vs. Amber: The U.S. Trial,” “Vardy vs. Rooney: The Wagatha Trial and Kim vs. Kanye: The Divorce.”

Also announced alongside “A Hollywood Feud” and also launching on Discovery+ in July is “Rubiales vs. Hermoso: The World Cup Kiss” will also drop on Discovery+ in July. 

Also produced by Optomen, the two-part series looks at the events following the infamous kiss that overshadowed Spain’s win against England in the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

One episode will hear from Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, who earlier this year was found guilty of sexual assault for kissing the team’s standout forward player, Jenni Hermoso. 

Speaking for the first time since the media storm which led to his resignation in 2023, Rubiales will offer his side of the story. The second episode will see those closest to Hermoso, including teammate Laia Codina, discussing her side of the story and the issue of consent around the moment that Hermoso said, “stained one of the happiest days of my life.”
