It will reveal the dark side of stardom and of the music industry, exploring the impact of Pearlman\u2019s Ponzi scheme and other scams. Members of multi-platinum-selling bands such as *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, O-Town and Take 5 will tell viewers about what it was like working with Pearlman. The project includes in-depth interviews with Backstreet Boys\u2019 AJ McLean; O-Town\u2019s Ashley Parker Angel; Aaron Carter, who is a recording artist and brother of Backstreet Boys\u2019 Nick Carter; and *NSYNC\u2019s JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Bass. It will also feature band members\u2019 mothers Diane Bass (mother of Lance Bass) and Lynn Bomar Harless (mother of former *NSYNC member Justin Timberlake).<\/p>\n<p>Also featured are entertainment industry experts who speak to Pearlman\u2019s meteoric rise. Federal agents, former friends and colleagues, and victims of Pearlman\u2019s Ponzi scheme and other scams will expose the abuse and fraud that culminated in his undoing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cViewers are going to be captivated by these riveting stories from some of the biggest names in music as they recount the extraordinary challenges they\u2019ve faced on their rise to fame,\u201d said Susanne Daniels, the global head of original content at YouTube. \u201cMusic is wildly popular on our platform, and this documentary gives fans a level of access to the true stories and real-life highs and lows of their favorite artists that they can\u2019t find anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lance Bass stated, \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to tell the story of the rise and fall of Lou Pearlman; I thought I knew most of the story since I had a front-row seat. I was fascinated to learn so much more through the eyes of other artists that were also subjected to Pearlman and his nefarious operation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pilgrim Media Group\u2019s CEO and executive producer, Craig Piligian, added, \u201cThis documentary marries pop-music history and true crime as it takes a unique look into how Pearlman created superstars, while all along taking advantage of them. Even as the film highlights the great talents that emerged on his watch, it sheds new light on a sad legacy and dramatic fall from grace.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube Red has ordered the documentary The Lou Pearlman Project\u00a0(working title), about the disgraced music manager, from Pilgrim Media Group and executive producer and former *NSYNC member Lance Bass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":11183,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2902,445,2903,2904],"class_list":["post-11182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-lance-bass","tag-pilgrim-media-group","tag-the-lou-pearlman-project","tag-youtube-red","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>YouTube Red Sets Doc on Boy Band Manager Lou Pearlman - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/youtube-red-sets-doc-on-boy-band-manager-lou-pearlman\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"YouTube Red Sets Doc on Boy Band Manager Lou Pearlman - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"YouTube Red has ordered the documentary The Lou Pearlman Project\u00a0(working title), about the disgraced music manager, from Pilgrim Media Group and executive producer and former *NSYNC member Lance Bass.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/youtube-red-sets-doc-on-boy-band-manager-lou-pearlman\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-04-26T15:41:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/LanceBass-TheLouPearlmanProject-Pilgrim-418.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"308\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/youtube-red-sets-doc-on-boy-band-manager-lou-pearlman\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/youtube-red-sets-doc-on-boy-band-manager-lou-pearlman\/\",\"name\":\"YouTube Red Sets Doc on Boy Band Manager Lou Pearlman - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2018-04-26T15:41:01+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-04-26T15:41:01+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/youtube-red-sets-doc-on-boy-band-manager-lou-pearlman\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/youtube-red-sets-doc-on-boy-band-manager-lou-pearlman\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/youtube-red-sets-doc-on-boy-band-manager-lou-pearlman\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"YouTube Red Sets Doc on Boy Band Manager Lou Pearlman\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
