E! has greenlit a new limited series starring actor/activist Rose McGowan. The five part series is titled Citizen Rose and will premiere this spring. A special two-hour documentary will kick off the limited series on Tuesday, January 30, 2018 at 8pm ET/PT.

The limited series will be produced by Bunim/Murray Productions. Jonathan Murray, Gil Goldschein, Farnaz Farjam Chazan, Andrea Metz, and Rose McGowan serve as executive producers.

“You are formally invited into my mind and world. I am thrilled to partner with E! to amplify my message of bravery, art, joy and survival. As I ready my book, BRAVE, I realized I wanted to show how we can heal through art even when being hounded by evil,” stated Rose McGowan. “I want to have a conversation with everyone, and most especially, you about looking at things differently and seeing beauty everywhere. E!’s tremendous reach and impressive platform allow me to globally communicate the importance of living a BRAVE life.”

“Rose McGowan’s courage in addressing sexual abuse and harassment in Hollywood ignited a conversation and inspired other women to speak out against their abusers,” said Amy Introcaso-Davis, Executive Vice President, Development and Production, E!. “We look forward to taking viewers inside this talented, dynamic woman’s world as the first allegations unfold and she becomes a leading voice in a critical cultural change.”


The Plot: “In the span of ten days, artist/activist Rose McGowan was arrested, met with former President Barack Obama, and became one of TIME Magazine’s ‘People of the Year,’ all while navigating the minefield of those trying to silence her. […] Citizen Rose is a project that reflects a dramatically changing world. We follow McGowan as she readies her memoir/manifesto, BRAVE, for release.

Citizen Rose is McGowan’s world: the art, the #ROSEARMY, her special punk brand of activism and the music she makes to heal. By going up against the Hollywood machine, McGowan has shown true courage in the face of adversity and this documentary will take you behind-the-scenes of her tumultuous and fascinating life. She will process, in almost real-time, the massive social change she has helped usher in as well as fight back against those who have hurt so many, including her.”
