NSYNC‘s Joey Fatone is serving as executive producer on an upcoming documentary series that will chronicle the dark side of the boy band boom of the 1990s, ID announced on Tuesday.
Boy Band Confidential is set to premiere on April 13 and 14, and it will feature interviews from the likes of NSYNC’s Lance Bass, Backstreet Boys‘ AJ McLean, and Boyz II Men’s Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman, among others.
“Being in a boy band was one of the greatest experiences of my life — but it also came with challenges we didn’t always understand at the time,” Fatone said in a statement of the upcoming series. “This project gave all of us a chance to reflect, to be honest and to share what really happened behind the spotlight.”
In a press release, ID said the upcoming series “exposes the secret machinery of manufactured superstardom and the devastating human cost of the era’s glossy perfection.” In a statement, ID president Jason Sarlanis called Boy Band Confidential “an honest, unfiltered look at a cultural phenomenon that shaped an entire generation.”
“With Joey Fatone bringing together a who’s who of artists from the era’s most iconic boy bands, we’re illuminating the pressures, vulnerabilities and surprising realities of life at the height of pop stardom with a level of access rarely achieved in music documentaries,” Sarlanis said.
Boy Band Confidential comes ahead of ID’s second season of Hollywood Demons. The series isn’t the network’s first time taking a deeper look at the exploitation and abuse stars face in Hollywood; ID had a hit in Quiet on Set back in 2024, exploring allegations of a toxic environment on classic Dan Schneider television shows.
