Ms. McGowan, who made her name in independent films and the horror-comedy hit “Scream” in the 1990s, conceded
that she “makes people uncomfortable,” but also said, “Do you understand what I’ve been through for the last 20 years?”
The series will debut with a two-hour episode on Jan. 30 and return for four additional installments in the spring.
Jonathan Murray, the chairman of Bunim/Murray, the production company behind reality shows like “The Real World” and “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” said, “As it all blew up this fall, we’ve been filming.” He added
that the show will also incorporate footage that Ms. McGowan has recorded over the past three years.
Since the Weinstein story broke, Ms. McGowan, who is also an executive producer of the series, has became one of
the biggest social media voices advocating for women who said they were victims of sexual harassment and abuse.
Ms. McGowan, the actress turned activist whose accusations against Harvey Weinstein helped spur a national reckoning on sexual abuse
and harassment, will star in a documentary series, “Citizen Rose,” that is scheduled to premiere on E!
“She kept saying, ‘It’ll be worth it, I promise,’” Andrea Metz, an executive producer
of the series, said of Ms. McGowan’s pitch to Bunim/Murray Productions.
“I wanted really to be like Gertrude Stein and have a conversation with the world,” Ms. McGowan said.
“It is a time of reckoning and the reset button,” she said at a Television Critics Association media event on Tuesday.
