The upcoming documentary is set to come out on Hulu on June 13.
The trailer for the new documentary BRATS has been released. It reunites members of Hollywood’s “Brat Pack” from the 1980s.
The “Brat Pack" was a nickname given to a group of young actors at the time who starred in several teen-centric films, notably St. Elmo’s Fire and The Breakfast Club.
The new documentary is written, produced and directed by Andrew McCarthy and will star Demi Moore, Emilio Estevew, Rob Lowe, Jon Cryer, Lea Thomsaon and Timothy Hutton.
In the trailer, McCarthy breaks down how the name came to be and what it meant to be part of the group.
"If you were coming of age in the 1980s, the brat pack was near the centre of your cultural awareness," McCarthy says in the beginning of the trailer. "But for those of us experiencing it from the inside, the brat pack was something very different."
He adds that the term was coined after a New York Magazine article titled Hollywood Brat Pack: “I just remember seeing that cover and thinking, oh fuck. From then on, my career and the career of everyone who was involved was branded to the brat pack.

I've never talked to anybody about what that was like, so I thought it might be interesting to try and contact everyone who was in the brat pack."
The documentary, produced by ABC News Studios, is set to stream June 13 on Hulu. No European release dates have been announced yet.
