Girls Gone Wild Victims, Enemies and Employees Speak Out in Trailer for New Docuseries (Exclusive)

“I never thought that that would come back and haunt me for 20 years," one survivor says in the upcoming Peacock documentary series

A new Peacock docuseries will dive deep into the lore behind Girls Gone Wild, and PEOPLE has an exclusive look at the trailer.

Girls Gone Wild: The Untold Story offers a behind-the-scenes look at the multi-million dollar franchise created by notorious film producer Joe Francis, in which young women were filmed exposing themselves on spring break for adult entertainment tapes that were sold on late-night television.

The upcoming three-part documentary includes interviews with former employees, enemies and survivors — none of whom are named in the trailer — who open up about the “shocking” nature of the videos and how they have impacted countless lives.

“I never thought that that would come back and haunt me for 20 years,” one survivor says in the exclusive trailer, while another claims, “I was too young to be taped.”

Also featured is an interview with Francis himself, his first in-depth, in-person interview with a journalist in nearly a decade.

Francis previously defended some of his tactics on Girls Gone Wild, which made $20 million in its first two years alone.

“If I took no for an answer, I wouldn’t be where I was!” Francis said in a clip from a previous interview, which appears in the film.

In Girls Gone Wild: The Untold Story, Francis is asked about his feelings once again: “Do you feel bad for the girls?”

Francis is now living in Mexico with loved ones after an arrest warrant was issued for him in the United States for failing to comply with a previous bankruptcy agreement.
