"Framing Britney Spears" has become a smash hit for Hulu, charting her battle for conservatorship over her $59 million estate.

The documentary provoked such a response that Spears' former boyfriend Justin Timberlake publicly apologised for his treatment of Spears, which was highlighted in the film.

This isn't the first time Netflix and Hulu have made competing documentaries about the same topic. In 2019, both companies made separate documentaries about the ill-fated Fyre Festival.
