A new trailer has been released for the upcoming documentary series, We Need To Talk About Cosby. The docuseries, helmed by W. Kamau Bell, is set to explore the long and lucrative career of Bill Cosby, both as an actor and a comedian, and his subsequent fall from grace. Katie A. King serves as showrunner for the series, produced by Boardwalk Pictures and WKB. It will premiere on January 22 at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.
In the trailer shared by SHOWTIME, Bell declares: “I am a child of Bill Cosby.” Setting out the older and more idyllic perception of the former Cosby Show star, Bell explains, “I’m a black man, and a comic, born in the 70s. Bill Cosby had been one of my heroes.” Switching from smiling black-and-white headshots of Cosby, intercut with childhood pictures, the trailer quickly jumps to a mugshot of the disgraced comedian and footage of him being led away in handcuffs. “What do we do about everything we knew about Bill Cosby and what we know now?” challenges Bell. “How do we talk about Bill Cosby?” Check out the trailer below:

Created as a four-part series, We Need To Talk About Cosby will feature a number of interviews with fellow comedians, cultural commentators, and journalists, as well as women who will share their harrowing personal encounters with the 84-year-old. Cosby has been accused of sexual offenses including rape, sexual assault, and sexual battery by over 60 women. He was sentenced in 2018 for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004, but his conviction was vacated earlier this year due to a process violation. We Need To Talk About Cosby debuts on SHOWTIME on January 30.
