Katy Perry in 'active discussions' over documentary detailing her 'dark marriage' to Russell Brand

Sources say Perry is considering a Netflix-style series and autobiography after waiting for Brand’s rape and sexual assault trial to end.

  • On Monday, November 9, 2026, British comedian Russell Brand was sentenced to 10.5 years in prison at Southwark Crown Court, with Judge Joel Bennathan declaring him a "sexual predator" whose fame had protected him from accountability.
  • A jury convicted Brand last week of raping one fan and sexually assaulting three media workers between 2004 and 2009; the Metropolitan Police praised the "courage" of his victims in bringing the dangerous offender to justice.
