“The six guests are all distinctive and brilliant in different ways, all of them people who have endured setbacks and huge successes, and who have something to share with the world based on their journeys through life.
“We have tried to build on the success of the first six Louis Theroux Interviews… while pushing further this time into terrain that is gritty and difficult, exploring subjects like mental health, brushes with the law and political controversy.”
Theroux has been a documentary maker and journalist on the BBC since the 1990s. His most famous pieces include him interviewing Tiger King star Joe Exotic years before the Netflix series, a controversial interview with Jimmy Savile and a piece on the gambling culture in Las Vegas.
