Peacock has started production on a three-part Peacock Original documentary from Scout Productions, the executive producers of "Queer Eye," "Equal" and "The Hype," and Tommy Avallone ("The Bill Murray Stories").

This documentary examines the rock star-like trajectory of Barney the Dinosaur, the beloved character who captured the hearts of millions of children and then became the target of hate and rage across pop culture, the early internet and playgrounds around the world.

"This documentary is bound to captivate audiences like Barney has over the years."

Using exclusive interviews and archival footage, the three-part documentary will offer first-hand accounts of the Barney phenomenon from the cast and crew to its most outspoken critics.

The documentary is produced by Scout Productions. Tommy Avallone is the director and executive producer. It is executive produced by Scout's Rob Eric, David Collins, Michael Williams, Amy Goodman Kass and Joel Chiodi with Raymond Esposito. Wendy Greene is co-executive producer and Trent Johnson is the producer. The three-part documentary will premiere on Peacock in 2022.
