The forthcoming documentary series, "Spacey Unmasked," set to premiere on Max in the U.S. on May 6, has unveiled allegations of inappropriate conduct by actor Kevin Spacey on the set of Netflix's "House of Cards.".

These allegations come less than a year after Spacey was acquitted of sexual assault charges brought forth by four men in a U.K. court.

The two-part series by Investigation Discovery features interviews with ten individuals who recount their encounters with Spacey. Nine of these individuals are sharing their stories for the first time, recounting alleged incidents in Los Angeles, New York, and London, in cinemas, at parties, and on set.

Spacey has responded to the allegations via X (formerly Twitter), criticizing Channel 4 for not providing him with sufficient time to respond. "Over the last week, I have repeatedly requested that Channel 4 afford me more than 7 days to respond to allegations made against me dating back 48 years and provide me with sufficient details to investigate these matters," he wrote. "Channel 4 has refused on the basis that they feel that asking for a response in 7 days to new, anonymized and non-specific allegations is a 'fair opportunity' for me to refute any allegations made against me. I will not sit back and be attacked by a dying network’s one-sided 'documentary' about me in their desperate attempt for ratings."

Spacey continued, "There’s a proper channel to handle allegations against me and it’s not Channel 4. Each time I have been given the time and a proper forum to defend myself, the allegations have failed under scrutiny and I have been exonerated. Tune in this weekend to see my response on http://X.com/kevinspacey. Channel 4 and [doc producers] RoastBeefTV may find themselves 'speechless', but I no longer will be."

According to Variety, a young actor named Daniel, who was part of Frank Underwood’s Secret Service detail on "House of Cards," alleges that Spacey "groped" him on set. "His hand touched my penis," he claimed. "I was inappropriately touched on set at work."

The documentary also features a former PA on "House of Cards" who alleges that a crew member had to be relocated "off set" due to Spacey’s inappropriate behavior. The documentary will air on Channel 4 on May 6 and May 7 in the U.K. and will be available for streaming on Max in the U.S. starting May 6.
