Discovery+ has debuted the first trailer for House of Hammer, a documentary series focused on the accusations of abuse against Armie Hammer and the decades of issues surrounding his wealthy family.
As Deadline reported, the docuseries promises to cover how abuse, addiction, and corruption permeated across five generations of the Hammer family. Not only will it address the accusations of sexual abuse several women allegedly faced at the hands of the Call Me By Your Name actor—including accusations of cannibal fetishization—it will also break down the troubling history of his family, including his infamous great-grandfather oil tycoon Armand Hammer.
“The accusations of rape and abuse brought against Armie Hammer in the last few years are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Hammer family. With House Of Hammer, we witness truly disturbing details and sinister secrets that money and power couldn’t hide forever,” said Jason Sarlanis, President of Crime and Investigative Content, Linear and Streaming at Discovery. “This documentary provides an important platform for the incredibly courageous women who came forward to share their stories, and we hope their courage inspires others to continue meaningful conversations around abuse in our society.”
The trailer features interviews with multiple of Armie’s alleged victims, and his aunt, Casey Hammer. “On the outside, we were a perfect family,” she says in the trailer, as seen above. “But magnify Succession a million times and it was my family. If you believe about making deals with the devil, the Hammers are top of the totem pole. Every generation of my family has been involved in dark misdeeds. And it just gets worse and worse and worse.”
The Elli Hakami and Julian P. Hobbs-directed series is set to debut on Discovery+ on Sept. 2.
