'Britney vs Spears' is expected to hit Netflix ahead of the 'Toxic' singer's next hearing
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A new documentary centered around Britney Spears is set to be released soon.
On Tuesday, Netflix announced its upcoming doc, "Britney vs Spears." The project will examine the 39-year-old pop star's conservatorship, which was put in place in 2008 after her public breakdown.
The teaser for the documentary contains alleged audio from a voicemail Spears left for an attorney on Jan. 21, 2009, at 12:21 a.m.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Hi my name is Britney Spears, I called you earlier," the singer can be heard saying. "I'm calling again because I just wanted to make sure that during the process of eliminating the conservatorship…"

The audio is cut off before viewers are given any additional information about the call.

A full trailer for the documentary will be released on Wednesday. No release date for the project was shared in the teaser, but Variety reports that the film in full will drop on Sept. 28, just a day before Spears' next highly-anticipated court hearing, which could see the conservatorship end.

The teaser for "Britney vs Spears" follows the February release of The New York Times' unauthorized documentary "Framing Britney Spears," which also examined her conservatorship, her record-breaking career in the music industry and the #FreeBritney movement. The doc sparked widespread renewed interest in the 13-year-old conservatorship.
