Through exclusive access and interviews, the definitive documentary "Biography: Bobby Brown" gives fans an up-close and personal look at the American Music Award winner's journey to superstardom and the fallout from his personal struggles with sobriety and the tragic deaths of his two children and first wife, Whitney Houston. The new 12-episode series "Bobby Brown: Every Little Step" takes us in to present day for an exclusive look at his life with wife Alicia Etheredge-Brown and their children as he focuses on new business ventures, new music as well as the 2022 reunion with New Edition on The Culture Tour.
