Disney+ and Hulu’s New Caroline Flack Documentary
Warning: This documentary includes sensitive themes such as suicide and domestic violence.
In 2020, British television presenter Caroline Flack died by suicide two months after being charged with the alleged assault of her boyfriend. During that period, the UK media covered her case daily, yet much of the information lacked transparency. The constant exposure left many unaware of the deeper truths behind the tragedy.
Five years later, Disney+ and Hulu, together with Caroline’s mother Christine Flack, released a new docuseries titled Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth, aiming to uncover what truly happened. While Channel 4 chronicled her story in 2021, this new project focuses on Christine’s independent investigation and perspective.
The film highlights the complex role of the Crown Prosecution Service, the police, tabloid press, and online audiences—each contributing, directly or indirectly, to Caroline’s despair. Their overlapping actions created a cycle that worsened the situation rather than helping it.
“Frankly, I’m astonished by how little I really knew about something I was seeing play out every single day.”
One of the most striking revelations is that Caroline had begun planning this very documentary just days before her death. Christine chose to continue and complete it to honor her daughter’s intent.
For those who didn’t know her, Caroline was considered one of television’s brightest and most loved personalities.
