Watch the trailer for Louis Theroux’s new documentary ‘Inside the Manosphere’

Netflix has unveiled a trailer for its upcoming documentary Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere set to arrive on March 11th. It will be the first full-length Netflix documentary for Theroux, and see him interview “manosphere” influencers like Sneako, Justin Waller and HS Tikky Tokky, aka Harrison Sullivan. “I’ve made documentaries for over 30 years now, and in a way, this subject feels like the final boss,” the filmmaker told GQ. 

“From Miami to Marbella, meet the men that are reshaping and radicalising young men’s ideas about masculinity and manhood,” Netflix’s description reads. In the trailer, we see Theroux interview the influencers and get the tables turned on himself. “I know that they would be streaming or filming me and would put that content out,” Theroux told Deadline. “And I hoped we’d get this feedback loop where there was a meta narrative that was then affecting my approach to the story.”

On top of making documentaries (and being famous for Jiggle Jiggle), Theroux is known for his Louis Theroux Interviews… podcast in which he interviews stars like Sean Penn and Florence Pugh. Prior to that, he did stories on conspiracy theories, UFOS and the porn industry, topics that he said were once niche but are now driving the internet and culture. 

“I wouldn’t be the first to point out that a lot of this is down to the influence of social media and the way in which it has given vent to the darkest parts of the human soul. Not just given vent to them, but actively amplified them and pushed them into our feeds. So yeah, this is not a niche subject.”
