LOS ANGELES — Is Access dropping its ban on Octomom coverage? Yes, because there’s finally actual TV news about her worth reporting.

“Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage” will air as a two-hour special on Aug. 19 on FOX, Access Hollywood has learned.

The feature will chronicle the saga of Nadya Suleman, who gave birth to eight children in January 2009.

According to FOX, the one-time special will provide “an intimate look inside Suleman’s life.”

Featuring never-before-seen footage, the show will allow “viewers to witness the emotional struggles, physical complications and financial burdens of this single mother of 14.”

Suleman was already a mother of six children when she gave birth to the octuplets.

“From the day the octuplets were born, cameras had unprecedented access to every area of Suleman’s life. For more than seven months, cameras documented Suleman, capturing incredible footage, including the private moments and reactions of Suleman’s family, as well as Suleman’s own feelings, doubts and fears,” FOX said in a press release.
