PARAMOUNT+ ANNOUNCES NEW DOCUMENTARY "THE CARTERS"

The Two-Part Documentary is a Raw and Intimate Look Inside the Celebrity Family of Boy Band Superstars Nick and Aaron Carter Told by the Singers' Sister Angel, and Follows Fame's Devastating Toll on Their Family

From Director Soleil Moon Frye and See It Now Studios, The Carters Will Be Available to Stream Exclusively on Paramount+ Later This Year

Jan. 22, 2025 - Paramount+ today announced THE CARTERS, a new two-part documentary that takes a deeply personal look at the extreme highs and tragic lows of a family propelled into the spotlight by the meteoric rise of the musical careers of two brothers, Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys) and the late pop sensation Aaron Carter.

The two-part documentary from director Soleil Moon Frye (Kid 90) unravels a deeply disturbing path told by Angel Carter Conrad, the singers' sister, along with first-time interviews with friends Melissa Joan Hart and Scout Willis. Never-before-seen home movies that detail the brothers' rise to fame and the devastating toll it took on their family also help tell the Carters' story. Produced by See It Now Studios and Candle True Stories, THE CARTERS will be available to stream exclusively on Paramount+ in 2025.

"I feel morally responsible to create a safe space for others to share their truths," said Frye. "Angel's courage in sharing her family's journey of mental health issues, addiction, pain, unbearable loss, and at the core, love, is a profound testament to who she is. Her mission is understanding how to transform grief and suffering into light that can heal even our most broken parts. This film, we hope, will help others who are struggling to see that through the pain and trauma Angel's family has endured, meaningful change will come for her, her brother Nick, and the world."

"This documentary is a labor of love for my family," said Angel. "By sharing our true story - one shaped by loss, resilience, and healing - I hope to honor our journey and transform our past into a message of hope and purpose for others facing similar challenges."

"Rarely can a director develop a deep trust of someone who has suffered great loss," said Susan Zirinsky, President of See It Now Studios. "Angel Carter Conrad has a painful story that she was willing to share with director Soleil Moon Frye. Stepping inside the family's secrets where no one sees your pain is what Frye felt was a mission for Angel to talk about the fame, expectations, addiction, assumptions and at the heart of it all - critical mental health issues."

THE CARTERS follows bona fide American teen heartthrobs, Nick and Aaron, who seemed to have it all, but behind their remarkable gifts was a family dealing with mental health struggles, drug addiction, and heartbreaking neglect. Their story is told by Aaron's twin sister, Angel, who unpacks the complicated family dynamics that led to the untimely deaths of three of the original five Carter kids as well as their father. The often enchanting but ultimately painful story of these engaging siblings begins in childhood as home movies reveal Nick and Aaron's undeniable and precocious talent. But fame and fortune were accompanied by rivalries, jealousies, and exploitation from those they relied on most, their parents. It is a sad and eye-opening tale shared by Angel and close family friends who also live in the spotlight including Melissa Joan Hart and Scout Willis. The film features exclusive interviews with those closest to the family, some who have never spoken out before.

THE CARTERS is executive produced by James Goldston, Steven Baker, Cynthia Childs, and Soleil Moon Frye, who also serves as director, and is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution. For See It Now Studios, Susan Zirinsky and Terence Wrong executive produce, and Aysu Saliba and Cara Tortora are supervising producers.
