Michael D. Ratner, the director of the docuseries, recently opened up about the “nerve-wracking” experience of watching Dancing With the Devil with Demi. “Seven seconds in, she stopped it and she seemed to actually have, like, a physical reaction to it, which was intense. And I was thinking, ‘Oh man, we have a hundred more minutes to go,'” he told Us Weekly. “I think it just brought back such memories and seeing it up there was intense, and it was pretty amazing to watch it and see her relive some of those moments, but ultimately see her story told. So truthfully through her lens and in this safe space, I think she really is proud of what we put together.” The first two episodes of the docuseries will premiere on YouTube on March 23, with new episodes released weekly over the following two Tuesdays.
