What is it about?

Created by the team behind 2021 documentary Caroline Flack: Her Life and Death, the 2025 documentary will be told through the eyes of Caroline Flack’s mother, Christine, as she celebrates the life and career of the TV presenter and searches for answers surrounding her daughter’s death five years on.

The documentary will feature first hand testimony, among them Caroline’s family and friends, as Christine embarks on a journey to uncover the truth around the circumstances that led to Caroline tragically taking her own life in 2020.

Christine Flack said of the new doc: “I still have so many questions about what happened to Caroline in her final months, and it’s something I feel deeply compelled to explore, even though I know it will be challenging. I’m pleased to be working with the team at Curious Films once again, in the hope of bringing clarity and understanding to Carrie’s story – not just for her, but for everyone who cared about her.”

Dov Freedman, Executive Producer, Curious Films added: “It’s not often that you feel the need to return to a subject, but nearly five years after Caroline's tragic death, we know there are still many unanswered questions for Christine and her family that need to be addressed. We’re proud to be collaborating with the Flack family once again, working together to seek some form of resolution to the tragic events surrounding Caroline's death.”

Gaby Aung, Senior Manager, Unscripted, Disney+ said: “We’re privileged to be working with Christine Flack and our production partners at Curious, as we follow a family’s pursuit for answers and celebrate Caroline’s legacy five years on from her tragic death.”

Caroline, famed for appearing on shows such as Love Island, The Xtra Factor and Strictly Come Dancing, tragically took her own life at the age of 40 in February 2020.

Her family released a statement at the time, saying: "We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today on the 15th February. We would ask that the press both respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time."

In the years since her passing, Caroline has been fondly remembered by her family, friends and former co-stars, with a festival called Flackstock set up in her memory, which promotes mental health awareness.
