Succession vibes are in store when you watch Unprecedented, the Donald Trump documentary about the former president’s 2020 reelection campaign. Filmmaker Alex Holder’s three-part docuseries, which is premiering on Discovery Plus, features never-before-seen footage that became of interest to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Unprecedented features unfiltered interviews with Trump himself, daughter Ivanka Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Also on hand are vice president Mike Pence and various journalists. The doc chronicles the family’s time on the campaign trail, as well as their reactions to the election’s outcome. The crew also filmed the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The raw footage was subpoenaed by the committee and Holder testified before lawmakers.
Holder told The Hollywood Reporter (opens in new tab) the project began as an attempt to “get insight into this family, trying to understand what made them who they are, understand their politics, understand the dynamics between them. The series really goes into this somewhat Succession-type vibe, it’s almost like the real-life Succession, which is pretty fascinating.”

The trailer for Unprecedented kicks off with Trump and his children sitting down for interviews, then moves to the campaign trail. As one talking head notes, “This is a family operation.”
