NEW YORK – New streaming service, BBC Select announced today it will host the exclusive U.S. and Canada premiere of Louis Theroux: Life on the Edge Thursday, May 13, 2021.
The four-episode series is the latest from the filmmaker and part of a large collection of his work exclusively on BBC Select.
“Since making his television debut on TV Nation in the mid-’90s, journalist and filmmaker Louis Theroux (@LouisTheroux) has become synonymous with documentaries involving subcultures and people on the fringes of society. The series, shot during lockdown, features up to date interviews with Louis and catch-ups between him and some of his most notable contributors – many of whose stories have since unfolded in unexpected ways,” reads the press release.
“For years I’ve wanted to go back and make sense of the programs I’ve made, find out what happened to some of the contributors, update their stories, and see what all these many hours of making TV might add up to,” said Theroux.
“Lockdown gave me the time and space to do this. It’s been a strange and fascinating couple of months working on this.”
