Farrah Fawcett’s upcoming documentary, A Wing and A Prayer, which chronicles the star’s highly-publicized battle with anal cancer, will air on NBC later this year.

“NBC is as courageous as Farrah for airing the subject matter that she is filming in primetime,” Craig Nevius, the documentary’s producer, said in a statement released Thursday.

“Jeffrey Zucker and VP of Alternative Programming and Specials Doug Vaughan, [who are] overseeing the project, have shown nothing but an unwavering support for Farrah, that has remained, above all, human.” he added. “Her health and her message have remained their priority, instead of rushing the project to the air or grabbing at headlines. They have respected both her privacy and her creative voice. From the beginning, the network has insisted that ‘A Wing and A Prayer’ will air when both it and Farrah are ready.”

“I’m holding on to the hope that there is some reason I got cancer and that there is something, that may not be very clear to me right now, that I will do,” Farrah, who shot to fame as one of Charlie’s Angels in the classic television series, said during an interview shot for the documentary.

Farrah was first diagnosed with cancer in 2006. A specific airdate for the Burning Bed actress’ documentary has not yet been set.
