Theroux Tackles Manosphere's Dark Digital World

Louis Theroux's latest Netflix feature, "Inside the Manosphere," set to release on March 11, 2026, probes the complex and often contentious online spaces shaping contemporary ideas of masculinity. The documentary, produced by Mindhouse Productions, features interviews with individuals prominent within these digital communities. Theroux noted the unique experience of being filmed by his subjects, which influenced the film's narrative. Mindhouse also announced a new Channel 4 documentary fronted by activist Gary Stevenson and the launch of a podcast and digital studio aimed at expediting content production.

Mindhouse Studios intends to navigate the traditional TV commissioning landscape more efficiently. Company bosses highlighted the success of their recent projects, balancing UK-centric narratives with broader American productions. Theroux drew parallels between his podcast's reach and the potential for new digital content formats. He cited past experiences, like interviewing Sean Penn, to illustrate how a more agile production approach can yield compelling content within limited timeframes.
