A new true-crime special coming to ID and Discovery+ will take a deeper look at not just Armie Hammer‘s alleged sex crimes, but also his family tree of scandals.
As first reported by Variety on Wednesday, the tentatively titled “House of Hammer” will investigate multiple controversies across five generations of Hammer’s family, using a “trove of archive and interviews from survivors and family members” to examine “a dysfunctional dynasty with its male characters exhibiting all the devastating consequences of privilege gone wild.”
The son of businessman Michael Hammer and the great-grandson of oil magnate Armand Hammer, the “Call Me by Your Name” actor had a swift fall from grace after he was accused in 2021 of raping a woman. The woman, identified as Effie, said Hammer assaulted her for over four hours on April 24, 2017, slamming her head against a wall and beating her feet.
