Looks like we won\u2019t be seeing that long-in-the-works Prince<\/strong>\u00a0docuseries. A post on Prince’s Instagram account<\/strong><\/a> has confirmed that\u00a0the planned six-part\u00a0series has been canceled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Prince estate and Netflix have come to a mutual agreement that will allow the estate to develop and produce a new documentary featuring exclusive content from Prince\u2019s archive,\u201d read the post. \u201cAs a result, the Netflix documentary will not be released.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post included the caption, “#STAYTUNED.”<\/p>\n

Back in July, reports surfaced that the Prince estate did not like the doc, directed by O.J. Made in America<\/em> director Ezra Edelman<\/strong>.\u00a0Sources told\u00a0Puck News<\/strong><\/a> that\u00a0the estate felt it was inaccurate and they were using a clause in their contract that said the series should be only six hours to hold things up, since Edelman\u2019s final cut was nine hours.<\/p>\n

Then in September, the\u00a0New York Times Magazine<\/strong><\/em><\/a> reported that the series contained accusations by ex-girlfriends that\u00a0Prince was abusive, with Prince\u2019s longtime lawyer, L. Londell McMillan<\/strong>, then speaking out about his opposition to the documentary.<\/p>\n

Prior to the official cancellation announcement, Prince’s social media accounts<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0shared a\u00a0cryptic message, possibly pertaining to the news, writing, “The Vault Has Been Freed. #FREE.” They also shared a video that includes the quote, \u201cDespite everything, no one can dictate who you are to other people. The truth is you are either here to enlighten or discourage.\u201d<\/p>\n
