“We live in an attention economy. A digital culture that can empower people with no talent or morals to become famous,” Gill said. “This series is bigger than 6ix9ine. It’s a cautionary tale about manufactured celebrity and how when our society allows Supervillains to rise, the collateral damage can be massive. In the era of Trump and the Jan. 6 insurrection, understanding and analyzing these stories is extremely important.”
The docuseries will premiere on Showtime on Feb. 21 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Also, new episodes will air every Sunday through March 7 while the entire series will be available for on-demand streaming or download on Feb. 21.
