Netflix has unveiled the trailer for its feature documentary, Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story, offering viewers an intimate look at the controversial love story between Norwegian king’s eldest child, Märtha Louise, and Hollywood’s self-proclaimed spiritual guru, Durek Verrett. The film follows the couple as they prepare for their wedding, seek spiritual guidance, and navigate a media storm.

From acclaimed Emmy-nominated director Rebecca Chaiklin (Tiger King) and Emmy-winning producer Chris Smith (FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, Wham!)

Director Rebecca Chaiklin: “When I saw the Vanity Fair article about a princess and a shaman falling in love, it instantly caught my eye. Märtha Louise and Shaman Durek were two completely unexpected, wild, and charismatic characters from totally different worlds, navigating a swirl of controversy and fighting for love. It was a great fish-out-of-water story - and they were so funny. So I just had to convince them (and the spirits) that I was “lit” enough to be the one to tell their story.”

The documentary will release globally on Netflix on September 16
