Louis Theroux: Forbidden America
Travelling the length and breadth of the United States, Louis will meet an assortment of content creators who promote far-right views, self-destructive performers - and in some cases alleged predators - whose work involves them promoting and enacting the most risqué, immoral and illegal behaviour.

S1.E1 ∙ Extreme and Online
Louis meets the latest incarnation of the American far right who are gathering a vast audience online, promoting an ideology that is racist, misogynistic, homophobic and anti-Semitic, often packaging the most extreme views as 'irony'.
S1.E2 ∙ Rap's New Frontline
Louis Theroux immerses himself in Florida's multimillion-dollar rap scene - as notorious for its controversy as its creativity.
S1.E3 ∙ Porn's Me Too
Louis Theroux heads to Los Angeles as the world of adult entertainment grapples with its own wave of #MeToo. As the rise of platforms like OnlyFans give adult performers financial independence away from the studio model of old, Louis encounters a new generation using their online platforms to call out alleged predatory behaviour by prominent industry figures. As a result, an industry that prides itself on pushing sexual boundaries is asking itself difficult questions about consent, and infamous figures like long-time performer Ron Jeremy are being challenged in court. Louis also meets those who are pushing back at what they see as 'trial by Twitter'. But their critics accuse them of representing porn's 'old guard' - clinging on to a culture where young performers have been vulnerable to older men with control over their careers who are all too eager to turn a blind eye to unacceptable behaviour.
