Andy Warhol's Posthumous Diaries Become Netflix Series with AI Voice

Netflix will release 'The Andy Warhol Diaries' on March 9, a six-episode series executive produced by Ryan Murphy and directed by Andrew Rossi. The show is based on Warhol's posthumous diaries, edited by his longtime collaborator Pat Hackett, covering his life from 1976 until his death in 1987 from gallbladder surgery complications. A key feature is the use of artificial intelligence to recreate Warhol's voice, including his Pittsburgh accent, to narrate the series in first person. The diaries offer intimate revelations about Warhol's friendships with Jean-Michel Basquiat and other contemporaries, his sexuality, religiosity, drug use, and his experiences at Studio 54. The series also includes testimonies from friends and artists.
