The special will be available on Paramount + starting March 28.
Cowan interviewed Allen about his new memoir in July 2020, in what is the filmmaker’s first in-depth television interview in nearly three decades. The special also features CBS This Morning’s extensive 2018 interview with Dylan Farrow, detailing her allegations that she was abused by Allen in 1992 and denying having been coached. And Moriarty explores the challenges the public faces when respected artists are claimed – or discovered – to have acted morally questionable.
Allen has repeatedly denied the allegations that have regained attention following the recent documentary series “Allen v. Farrow”. Some experts have disregarded the charges and he has never been charged with a crime.
