Aaron and Nick Carter’s Sister to Tell Family’s ‘Extreme Highs and Tragic Lows’ in Paramount+ Doc From Soleil Moon Frye (EXCLUSIVE)

Emily Longeretta Soleil Moon Frye is set to direct “The Carters,” a new two-part documentary that looks at the “extreme highs and tragic lows” of the Carter family, including the musical careers of Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter and pop star Aaron Carter, the latter of whom died in 2022.

The doc, produced by See It Now Studios and Candle True Stories, will be from the point of view of Angel Carter Conrad, Aaron’s twin sister; the “sad and eye-opening tale” features new interviews with close family friends, including Melissa Joan Hart and Scout Willis, as well as never-before-seen home movies. “The Carters” will be available to stream later this year on Paramount+. “This documentary is a labor of love for my family,” Conrad said in a statement. “By sharing our true story, one shaped by loss, resilience, and healing, I hope to honor our journey and transform our past into a message of hope and purpose for others facing similar challenges.” Per the official logline, “The Carters” will follow the brothers “who seemed to have it all, but behind their remarkable gifts was a family dealing with mental health struggles, drug addiction, and heartbreaking neglect.” Conrad “unpacks the complicated family dynamics that led to the untimely deaths of three of the original five Carter kids as well as their father.

The often enchanting but ultimately painful story of these engaging siblings begins in childhood as home movies reveal Nick and Aaron’s undeniable and precocious talent.

But fame and fortune were accompanied by rivalries, jealousies, and exploitation from those they relied on most, their parents.” Nick and Angel’s sister Leslie died of an apparent overdose in 2012.
