The couple’s documentary will seemingly chronicle Erbert’s miraculous recovery in the year since she was hospitalized after a performance in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 6, 2023.
Fans previously got a closer look at Erbert’s journey when she and Hough returned to Dancing with the Stars in October for an emotional performance on “Dedication” night.
Before taking the stage, Hough reflected in a pre-recorded video about how life “came to a screeching halt in the most devastating way” the year before.
“We rush her to the hospital, she’s still in her costume, and the doctor came to me and he said that, ‘She has a severe brain bleed, so we have to operate right now,'” Hough recalled. “He said that she might not make it and that even if she does make it, she won’t be the same person.”
The package triggered emotions from the couple themselves, not just the audience.
“When they played the package, that’s when I started losing it, because I actually haven’t seen a lot of the footage in quite some time because I’ve just been focusing on progressing every single day,” Erbert told PEOPLE afterwards. “And so to go back to that, I was just flooded with emotions, but it was extremely special to be out here.”
He also teased that the package was “just sort of the beginning of telling the full story” of Erbert’s recovery.
“We shared a little bit more video and photos of what had happened to show us something to the extent of the severity of it. But this is the beginning and there’s so much more to tell this story and we’re so excited to share the rest of it.”
