Set to premiere on Discovery+ in June 2025, this series promises to pull back the curtain on the sensational drama unfolding between Lively and her director, Baldoni.
Fans can look forward to a captivating exploration of the lead-up to their impending court cases, diving deep into the twists and turns of this gripping saga that has already inspired a documentary and sparked endless headlines.

Baldoni vs. Lively: From legal feud to a docuseries
Warner Bros. Discovery isn’t the first to delve into the captivating legal drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. It’s a story that has piqued interest across the industry. Just weeks before this announcement, ITN Productions rolled out “He Said, She Said: Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni,” a gripping special that aired on Britain’s Channel 5. ( Via. The Hollywood Reporter)
The documentary later aired in streamlined format on March 31, 2025, on Investigation Discovery and Max.
That 90-minute exposé explored Lively’s allegations of se*ual misconduct against Baldoni on the It Ends With Us set and her claims of a retaliatory smear campaign, countered by Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit. While He Said, She Said leaned into the social media frenzy and early evidence, Baldoni vs. Lively: A Hollywood Feud aims to distinguish itself with a broader scope and deeper dive.
This is aimed at building on Discovery+’s famous “vs” franchise, which includes hits like Johnny vs. Amber: The U.S. Trial and Kim vs. Kanye: The Divorce. Discovery+ is also rolling out Rubiales vs. Hermoso: The World Cup Kiss in July, signaling a full-on commitment to high-profile showdowns. (Via Comicbasics.com)
What to expect from Baldoni vs Lively: A Hollywood Feud?
The announcement of Baldoni vs Lively: A Hollywood Feud, a docuseries in action, was made by Warner Bros. Discovery on Monday. The project was tagged along with other major scripted and unscripted projects, aiming to come on celluloid soon. The VP of commissioning at Warner Bros. Discovery made the announcement, saying,
We’re excited to announce over 50 hours of content, both bringing back and building on some of our well-loved formats, like ‘vs’, and introducing new talent and new ideas to our platforms. (Via. The Hollywood Reporter)
The docuseries is expected to explore the complex web of allegations, including Lively’s claims of on-set harassment and Baldoni’s public relations retaliation. It will also cover his countersuit, in which he accuses her of defamation and extortion.
Fans can look forward to a mix of courtroom buildup, behind-the-scenes footage from “It Ends With Us,” and potentially fresh interviews with insiders. However, the high-profile nature of the case may keep big-name celebrities from speaking out until the trial, which is scheduled for March 2026.
Given Discovery+’s track record, the series could feature dramatic reenactments, expert commentary from legal and PR pros, and a spotlight on key evidence like text messages and voice notes that have already surfaced. With the feud’s trickling effects, Baldoni losing gigs, and Lively rallying celebrity support; this docuseries promises to unpack not just the legal beatdown but also the power plays and public perception battles that define modern Hollywood scandals.
