In the trailer itself, we see new interviewees reflecting on their experiences with the 'I Believe I Can Fly' singer, as well as investigators unravelling more of this tangled web.
"When you trace what R Kelly has been accused of doing for years, you not only see a series of abuses, you also see a series of cover-ups," one woman claims.
With further material from psychologists, supporters and cultural/legal experts, The Reckoning promises "more insights into the ever-growing saga of the R&B singer, who is currently facing federal and state charges".
