Madeleine parents share about the interview saying:

“We are aware that Netflix is planning to screen a documentary in 2019 about Madeleine’s disappearance"

"But we did not see – and still do not see – how this programme will help the search for Madeleine and, particularly given there is an active police investigation, it could potentially hinder it.”

“Consequently, our views and preferences are not reflected in the programme. We will not be making any further statements or giving interviews regarding this programme.”

The documentary was initially planned to release in 2018 but due to rejection by key figures the documentary finally was delayed till 2019.
