Filmed across a number of locations, from New York City to Normandy, Glastonbury to the French Riviera, the upcoming series will bring viewers closer than ever to some of the world’s most well-known personalities and Louis’s most diverse range of guests yet:

Louis heads to the French Riviera to meet one of the icons of Hollywood’s Golden age, Dame Joan Collins. Welcomed into her holiday home near St Tropez, Louis and Dame Joan discuss the highs and lows of her multi-decade career, including her star turns in The Stud and as Alexis in Dynasty. Louis also hits the town with Dame Joan and her husband of over 20 years, Percy Gibson.

From much-loved documentary maker Louis Theroux comes a funny, heartfelt and entertaining account of his life and weird times in TV. Lynda Farrow, 29, a croupier, was four months pregnant when she was found by her eight-year-old daughter with her throat slashed in the hallway of their home in Woodford, east London on 19 January 1979.

There’s journalistic rigour to Theroux’s shadow play, too. A long, riveting segment looks at Doherty’s involvement in the death of Mark Blanco in 2006, in circumstances that are still disputed. Theroux sits there stony-faced as Doherty says things about what happened that night which, he himself admits, he may later regret.

She was found abandoned and barely alive at an electricity substation the next day and died a week later. Louis graduated from Oxford in 1991 and got his break in television in 1994 working for the American documentary maker Michael Moore, who hired him as a writer and correspondent on his show, TV Nation. He then went on to make the BAFTA-winning series Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends, When Louis Met…, and a series of award-winning specials including The Most Hated Family in America, Miami Mega Jail, Altered States and the feature-length documentary, My Scientology Movie. He was born in 1968 in Kampala, Uganda, where his American father was teaching at Makerere University. Among the murders Marcel’s documentary will look into are: Eve Stratford, 22, a Playboy Bunny, who aspired to be a famous model, was murdered at her home in Leyton, east London, on 18 March 1975. She was found with her throat slashed.

Louis travels to New York City to delve into the mind of one of America's most polarizing figures, famous whistleblower and activist Chelsea Manning. In 2010, Manning, a U.S. Army intelligence analyst, released the largest set of classified documents in U.S. history and was sentenced to 35 years in a military prison for her actions. Branded a traitor by some and a hero by others, Chelsea reveals what drove her to risk everything by making the documents public, whilst sharing details of her life now as a DJ and public speaker. Louis also describes how he launches his podcast, Grounded, finally gets to the US to film a new Joe Exotic documentary and aims his sights on the latest incarnation of the far right in a world becoming radicalized by social media. Theroux the Keyhole is Louis at his insightful best, as he faces unforeseen new challenges and wonders why it took a pandemic for him to learn that what really matters in life is right in front of him. Louis has won numerous awards, including three BAFTAs, an RTS award, and Grierson’s Trustees’ Award, andin 2019, he set up his own independent television production company, Mindhouse, alongside Arron Fellows and Nancy Strang.

As Louis woos his beautiful wife Nancy and learns how to be a father, he also dares to take on the powerful Church of Scientology. Just as challenging is the revelation that one of his old subjects, Jimmy Savile, was a secret sexual predator, prompting him to question our understanding of how evil takes place. Filled with wry observation and self-deprecating humour, this is Louis at his most insightful and honest best. BBC Factual announces six names that meet multi award-winning journalist and broadcaster Louis Theroux for the second series ofLouis Theroux Interviews, including cultural icons and industry trailblazers from across the worlds of sport, entertainment and global affairs. From here, the standard redemption narrative demands that Doherty be riddled with regret, apologise to one and all, sup on some green tea and commit to a new start. But under Theroux’s stewardship, what emerges is something far more complex and interesting.
