London – FremantleMedia International (FMI) has completed a distribution deal with OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network for the worldwide distribution rights (excluding North America) to Lindsay. The exclusive and highly anticipated eight-part documentary series follows movie star and media sensation Lindsay Lohan on her journey through recovery following a very public period of crisis. Directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Amy Rice (By The People: The Election of Barack Obama), the series will launch at this year’s MIPTV.

Premiering on OWN on March 9 in the U.S., the show will provide audiences with unprecedented access to Lohan’s life. Having had her career and personal life sidelined by her public struggles, Lohan is strikingly candid about her situation and is more determined than ever to get back on her feet.
