‘Documentary Now!’ Takes Aim at ‘My Octopus Teacher,’ Agnés Varda, and More This Season
Where has the past half a-century gone? The trailer for Documentary Now!’s 53rd season has already arrived. It feels like just a few years ago that we got Season 3; now, we’re already this far into the future. But there’s no point in complaining, because one of the finest, most hilarious shows on television has returned.
Dame Helen Mirren is back to narrate the mockumentary series, and she rears her head once more in the new trailer. “I’m pleased to announce the return of Documentary Now! for its 53rd season,” she says, charming as ever. “The painstakingly creative series has transported audiences.”
We’ll be transported around the world and back in this new chapter of the anthology series, which will take us to Germany, France, a little hair salon, and a zoo. Those are all the lovely places the world has to offer. This season will feature six brand new fake documentary stories, including a two-part premiere to kick things off.
