Leaving Neverland 2: What happened to Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch � name change; $80m loss; starring role in upcoming biopic

Following the death of Michael Jackson and the allegations against him, many have wondered what has happened to his Neverland Ranch in recent years.

The property is located in Santa Barbara County, California. It served as the home and private amusement park of the late singer from 1988 until 2005.

In the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland, Wade Robson and James Safechuck claimed they were groomed and abused by Jackson as children at the ranch. Part two of the documentary, which is airing on Channel 4 tonight (March 18), follows Wade and James “as they navigate an ongoing legal battle in their civil lawsuits against the estate of Michael Jackson”.
