A new Brittany Murphy documentary is bringing chilling new revelations about her death to HBO Max—but there’s still a way for non-subscribers to watch What Happened, Brittany Murphy online for free.

What Happened, Brittany Murphy? will address the life and death of the beloved actress, who passed unexpectedly in 2009. Her death was officially ruled as an accident at the time, though many have long questioned the coroner’s findings. While other films have often sensationalized the mystery of Murphy’s passing, HBO’s two-part documentary series seeks to address the theories through candid interviews with friends and family, along with never-before-seen archival footage of the actress prior to her death at the age of 32.

When the documentary series was first announced, director Cynthia Hill revealed in a statement that she wanted to bring a different perspective to Murphy’s life story. “I agreed to do this film because I think it’s a shame that Brittany’s promising life and career has been eclipsed by the circumstances of her death,” Hill said in March 2021. “I think it’s important to celebrate Brittany’s talent as we struggle to explain the tragic circumstances of her and Simon’s deaths,” the director added, referring to Murphy’s spouse Simon Monjack, who died of suspiciously similar causes less than six months after her.
