W. Kamau Bell will examine the complex legacy and sexual misconduct allegations of Bill Cosby in a new doc, 'We Need to Talk About Cosby.'
. The project will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 22 before arriving in full on Showtime Jan. 30 at 10 p.m. ET.
In a short trailer for the docuseries, Bell states: “I am a child of Bill Cosby. You know what I mean. I’m a Black man, a stand-up comic, born in the Seventies — Bill Cosby had been one of my heroes.” But alluding to the more than 60 women who’ve accused Cosby of rape, drug-facilitated sexual assault, and sexual battery, Bell continues: “This was fucked up.
“As a child of Bill Cosby, I was a huge fan of all his shows and wanted to be a comedian because of him,” Bell said in a statement. “I never thought I’d ever wrestle with who we all thought Cosby was and who we now understand him to be. I’m not sure he would want me to do this work, but Cliff Huxtable definitely would.”
