Discovery+ has announced Johnny vs Amber: The US Trial, a new two part docu-series charting the defamation trial which took place between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in Virginia earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The new series is a follow-up to its 2021 two-part docu-series Johnny vs Amber, which detailed the 2020 libel lawsuit between the two Hollywood stars held in the UK. The new series features intimate access to Depp\u2019s lawyers, legal experts and journalists.<\/p>\n

Discovery+<\/a> says that the series gives a \u201cforensic account of the key evidence and turning points of the case from both sides, allowing viewers to make up their own minds about who to believe\u201d.<\/p>\n

The series is set to premiere on discovery+ from Monday 19th September.<\/p>\n

The first episode will investigate Depp\u2019s side, with his team detailing his abusive childhood and drug dependencies, while the episode also follows his lawyers as they prepare to cross examine Amber Heard.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the second episode will look at Heard\u2019s account, including her allegations against Depp and how she was \u201cvilified\u201d on social media.<\/p>

According to discovery+ the series will reveal \u201cin graphic detail the struggles inside the dysfunctional and turbulent A-list marriage\u201d, while also examining how Heard was \u201cmercilessly attacked\u201d online, with the streamer calling her \u201cthe woman the world chose to hate, but who kept on fighting\u201d.<\/p>\n

The trial took place between April and June this year, with the jurors siding mostly with Depp, awarding him $15m in compensatory and punitive damages<\/a>.<\/p>\n
