Documentary Based on Michael Jackson's 1993 Super Bowl Halftime Performance in the Works at Hulu/ESPN

Michael Jackson’s 1993 Super Bowl halftime show is one of, if not the most iconic in history. Jackson was the King of Pop, and he could put on a show unlike any other entertainer in history.

Now we will go behind the scenes of that halftime show in a new documentary from Hulu and ESPN titled Spectacle: Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl.

Spectacle tells the backstory and chronicles the journey to and through his industry-shifting show, featuring never-before-seen footage of Jackson and his team, its legacy and how it catapulted the Super Bowl Halftime show into the single biggest spectacle in pop culture.

Jackson’s performance began with him standing still for two full minutes, striking an aloof pose in a black suit crisscrossed by what look like gold bullet-belts. He followed with songs including “Billie Jean,” “Black or White,” and others including “We Are the World,” in which more than 3,000 local kids joined in.

It marked the first time the second half of the Super Bowl had more viewers than the first and set the new normal of using the halftime show to attract and hold viewers.

Bao Nguyen directs and produces the doc, which will premiere in February on Hulu and ESPN.
