Paramount+ to Exclusively Debut Eminem Doc Stans

Paramount+ will exclusively debut the Eminem documentary Stans on August 26.

“’Stan’ is one of the most unconventional songs ever written, where the story is mostly told from a fan’s perspective, so this film was an incredible opportunity to find a unique approach,” said director Steven Leckart. “We kept coming back to one lyric from the song: ‘I’m just like you.’ Fans who echo that same sentiment carry much of the film. But like the song, Marshall’s perspective was also essential to the movie. I’m grateful for just how candid, sincere and frequently hilarious he was.”

Stans is directed by Steven Leckart and will exclusively debut on Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and Brazil on August 26. The film will then premiere on August 27 in the U.K., Australia, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, followed by Japan on October 3.

More than just an exploration of fandom, Stans examines the complicated relationship between one of the world’s most private artists and his massive public persona. Through stylized recreations, rare archival footage and intimate original interviews, it offers a raw, loud and revealing journey across Eminem’s career and the passionate audience that has grown with him.

Stans is produced by Eminem, Paul Rosenberg, Stuart Parr, Antoine Fuqua, Tony DiSanto and David Schiff with DIGA Studios in association with Shady Films, Fuqua Films, Interscope Films and MTV Entertainment Studios. Bruce Gillmer, Amanda Culkowski and Michael Maniaci are executive producers for MTV Entertainment Studios.
