Ryan Murphy Wants To Work With Britney Spears On A Conservatorship Docuseries

Singer Britney Spears may be able to tell her story in a brand new way.

According to a new report, “American Horror Story” producer Ryan Murphy is looking to work with the 41-year-old pop star and create a new docuseries that outlines the story of her 13-year conservatorship.

On Sunday, the Daily Mail reported that “American Horror Story” producer Ryan Murphy was looking to create a tell-all docuseries with the collaboration of the singer who actually went through the conservatorship. The controversial measure was started in February 2008 and gave her father, Jamie, power over her finances, career, and lifestyle.

A judge eventually struck down her conservatorship in November 2021 after approximately 13 years. Although the “Hold Me Closer” singer has a memoir in the works, Murphy also wanted to bring Britney’s story to the small screen to appeal to even more fans.

Although there have already been many documentaries about the conservatorship from Netflix, Hulu, and even the BBC, the “Oops!...I Did It Again” singer hasn’t been personally involved in the creation of any of those series and made her opinion about them quite clear in several Instagram posts over the months.

A source told The U.S. Sun that Murphy wants to continue his working relationship with Britney after directing a 2010 episode of “Glee” that she appeared in. Although sources say that Murphy hasn’t reached out to Britney with his ideas just yet, he is reportedly ‘not going to push Britney into anything she isn’t comfortable with.”

“Ryan is openly fascinated by the Britney saga and of course, he is one of the few filmmakers in Hollywood, maybe the only one, really, with a professional relationship with Britney,” the insider alleged. “He knows her, he knows her world and he knows why the story of her conservatorship resonated with so many people.”

“But Ryan hates being accused of exploiting victims and tragedies in his shows so this becomes an incredibly delicate matter, and not something he would even consider pushing forward without Britney's full co-sign,” they added. At this time, it is unclear if Britney would like to revisit the conservatorship or move on from it. Despite new reports that her memoir will be released later this year, the “Toxic” singer has been quiet about releasing her new memoir.

Just last month, Page Six reported that Britney’s memoir will be available for purchase this fall. The book was written with the assistance of ghostwriter Sam Lansky, who has profiled Hollywood stars like Madonna and Adele.

The publisher, Simon & Schuster, is reportedly “thrilled” with what they have seen so far and are giving the manuscript another round of legal revisions before it will be released this fall. Still, that hasn’t stopped insiders from raving about the draft.

“Britney’s book is a story of triumph. It will cover her most vulnerable moments, her childhood – being a little girl with big dreams – her break-up with Justin Timberlake, the moment she shaved her head, and her battle with her family over her conservatorship," one source claimed.

“It is also a story of survival, finding her way out of the crippling conservatorship to finding happiness with her husband Sam Ashgari,” they went on.

Another insider claimed that “Britney’s book is brutally honest and from the heart. No stone is left unturned. It's truly a female empowerment story – her taking control of her life.”

Yet another source called Britney's new memoir "a gift," adding, "There are parts of this book that every person—particularly every woman—can relate to and feel less alone. She transforms joy and pain into something transcendent: art."

“This is an inspiring read, not only because it shows the strength of Britney’s spirit, but because her story is told with such style, wit, intelligence, honesty, and without any self-pity," they continued. "She is entirely winning in these pages."

They said that the book will "shake the world," adding, "I believe that it will also be a groundbreaking instant bestseller.”
