For the first time, Angel Carter Conrad is sitting down with brother Nick Carter as part of her upcoming documentary, “The Carters: Hurts to Love You.”
In the new trailer for the Paramount+ documentary, Aaron Carter‘s twin sister, Angel, tells the story of her family’s many ups and downs through the years — from the rise of Nick’s career with the Backstreet Boys and Aaron’s as a solo artist to the tragic death of three of their siblings. (Leslie Carter died of an apparent overdose in 2012; Aaron, died from accidental drowning in 2022 and Bobbie Jean died of an accidental overdose in 2023.)
From director Soleil Moon Frye and produced by See It Now Studios and Candle True Stories, the two-part doc “features intimate conversations between the only surviving Carter siblings, Angel and Nick, who confront their complex childhood and the profound tragedies that marked their family” as well as never-before-seen home videos, photographs, audio recordings and private text messages.
In one video, Angel’s mother, Jane, allegedly says, “You should tell the truth before you go to bed, or you could die in your sleep.” Nick later talks to his sister about being “the only two left” of their family, adding, “Fame and money destroyed our family.”
Viewers can expect conversations with the family’s industry friends including Melissa Joan Hart, Scout Willis and longtime manager Lori Knight.
Per the official release, “Frye was given unprecedented access to the family and their personal archives, pulling back the veil on the Carter family as we hear them speak out for the first time: from their sadness and fear to love and hope.”
“The Carters: Hurts to Love You” is executive produced by James Goldston, Steven Baker, Cynthia Childs, Soleil Moon Frye, Susan Zirinsky and Terence Wrong and is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution; Aysu Saliba and Cara Tortora are supervising producers.
Watch the full trailer below. The two-part documentary will premiere on Tuesday, April 15 on Paramount+.
