The A&E two-hour documentary special delving into the fentanyl crisis is set to premiere later this month.
Ice-T has been personally impacted by the fentanyl drug crisis in America, and the rapper-actor is now on board as an executive producer and host of the forthcoming Fame and Fentanyl documentary special. A&E released a harrowing trailer on Monday (Aug. 4), with the two-hour documentary slated to premiere on Aug. 25 at 9 p.m. ET. Families from various backgrounds and socio-economic classes reflect on the heartbreaking tragedies and losses suffered from fentanyl. The doc also explores the celebrity drug overdoses of Prince, Angus Cloud, Tom Petty and Michael K. Williams.
The documentary will also delve into the law enforcement and criminal investigation side of things, revealing how special agents brought dealers to justice after selling lethal doses of fentanyl to users. According to the CDC, drug overdoses plummeted by 27 percent in America in 2024 (80,391) compared to the 110,037 overdose-related deaths in 2023. Last week, Ice-T took to social media to tease his return to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
