After its American success, the docu-series Deadly Influence – The Dark Side of Influencers is coming to discovery+ on Friday, July 12. This series delves into the hidden corners of social media. Unique in its genre, the six-part true crime series sheds light on the dark complexities of the social media world and the dangers lurking within.

Directors Elli Hakami and Julian P. Hobbs, following their shocking documentary 'House of Hammer', return to explore the lives of social stars, this time focusing on influencers. The series portrays the hypnotic and mysterious double life of an online influencer. While celebrities present dream lives online, the offline reality is quite different. Although social media might seem like a gateway to opportunities and validation – a chance to build a career based on wealth, fame, power, and community support – involvement in these digital environments can create a dangerous reality.

The docu-series "Deadly Influence – The Dark Side of Influencers" (6x60’) will be available on discovery+ starting July 12.
