Outsiders vs. Institutions: Ronson's New Series Explores Power

Jon Ronson's critically acclaimed audio series, 'Things Fell Apart,' is preparing for its highly anticipated third season, scheduled for an early 2027 release. This new installment marks the show's first season in three years.

The upcoming season will feature Ronson, a British-American journalist known for his gonzo style, as he investigates eight unique stories. These narratives focus on individuals who choose to confront and challenge powerful institutions, hierarchies, or established belief systems.

Executive producer Sarah Shebbeare and BBC Studios Audio are producing the series for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. The stories are expected to highlight the human element behind these power struggles, exploring how individuals initiate change and the subsequent reactions from institutions, with potentially surprising or severe outcomes.

Season 1 of 'Things Fell Apart' explored the origins of culture wars, while Season 2 examined new battle lines within the same conflict. This third season shifts focus to individuals declaring war on powerful organizations, promising a nuanced look at the dynamics of power shifts and institutional responses.
