The trailer has dropped for Prince Andrew: Banished, the Peacock documentary exploring Prince Andrew’s life and controversies. Watch it above.
Blue Ant Studios is behind Banished, which unpacks the tumultuous story of how the Duke of York, the late Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite son, brought disgrace upon himself.
Queen Elizabeth II’s Official Cause Of Death Revealed
After cavorting with notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew took part in a hugely embarrassing BBC interview that has lived long in the memory, and Banished features new interviews with palace insiders, journalists, members of Andrew’s social circle and the legal team that brought the allegations to light. Peacock said it will take a deep dive into the world of privilege, jealousy, desire and greed that pushed Andrew — first into the orbit of notorious sex offenders Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and then into a sordid sex-trafficking scandal.

Prince Andrew is getting the documentary treatment at Peacock.
The streamer has released the trailer for Prince Andrew: Banished, a 90-minute documentary debuting Oct. 5 that will dive into the “tumultuous and complex” life of Prince Andrew. The feature includes interviews with palace insiders, journalists, and others who were close to the controversial relationship between Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
The disgraced second son to the late Queen Elizabeth II stepped down from royal duties over his association with the late child sex offender Epstein in November 2019. The decision, an unusual one for a senior royal, followed a televised BBC interview where he came under fire for how he clarified his ties with Epstein and was perceived as lacking sympathy for Epstein’s sex trafficking victims, many of whom were underage. As a result, he was stripped of his honorary military titles and charity roles,...

With British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell currently awaiting a November 2021 trial, facing charges that range from enticement of minors to sex trafficking of children in connection, the producers behind “Epstein’s Shadow: Ghislaine Maxwell” feel the timing of that docuseries’ release could not be more perfect.
This is because they did not set out to capture the definitive story of her legal battles, but rather “to be the definitive documentary on who this woman is,” executive producer Emma Cooper explained at the Seriesfest panel for the three-part docuseries.
The docuseries doesn’t solely focus on Maxwell’s relationship with the titular Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who was arrested again (this time on charges of sex trafficking of minors) in 2019 and found dead in his jail cell just a month after that arrest. The two were in each other’s orbit for decades (though exactly how long may depend on who...

Updated with video: Bill Maher found his stride in his first episode since March to originate from the regular studio home of HBO’s Real Time, capping tonight’s show with a call-to-postal-action against — who else — President Donald Trump.
“If Trump’s going to try to scuttle the Post Office, we need to fight back,” the host said, delivering his “New Rules” show-ending monologue from his familiar set at LA’s CBS Television City. Starting in October, he added, “Don’t use the mail for anything but ballots until the election is over” on November 3.
Without an in-person audience due to Covid-19 restrictions, no one applauded Maher’s proposed hashtag for the postal effort: #FreeUpTheMail, but he charged forward anyway. The segment, along with conversations with guests Wynton Marsalis, Trey Gowdy, Rick Wilson and Nina Burleigh, saw Maher ditch the self-pitying mewling of some of his recent backyard efforts during the pandemic.
