Today, in “Welp, this was probably inevitable” news: Variety reports that ABC News and Nightline are gearing up to release a Hulu special about Liam Payne’s death, just eight days after the fact. Branded as part of the studio’s Impact X Nightline TV magazine series—the same show that brought you stories like “What Happened To Matthew Perry?”, “Andrew Tate: Into The Manosphere,” and “Only Fans: Not Just For Sex”— the new report, One Direction: Liam Payne’s Final Days, will broadcast online on Thursday. The logline for the special presumably gives us a taste of the tone: “Drugs, a trashed hotel room, and a deadly fall: How One Direction’s Liam Payne tragically died. The boy band singer’s sudden death sparked renewed questions about the dark side of fame. How did the 31-year-old’s brilliant star fade so dramatically?”
