Netflix is gearing up to launch a new series titled 'Apple Cider Vinegar', which tells the controversial story of Belle Gibson, a wellness influencer who falsely claimed to have cured her terminal cancer.

The series, inspired by the book 'The Woman Who Fooled the World' by journalists Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano, is created by Samantha Strauss and features a writing team that includes Anya Beyersdorf and Angela Betzien.

Directed by Jeffrey Walker, 'Apple Cider Vinegar' was filmed primarily in Melbourne, Australia, and showcases the city as an aspirational backdrop.

The narrative focuses on the impact of social media, particularly Instagram, on wellness culture and how it blurs the lines between truth and deception.

The show aims to critique the influencer culture that has transformed society's relationship with food, highlighting the complexities of health and truth.

Kaitlyn Dever stars as Belle Gibson, supported by a cast that includes Alycia Debnam-Carey, Aisha Dee, and Tilda Cobham-Hervey, each portraying characters affected by Gibson's deception.

Set to premiere in early 2025, 'Apple Cider Vinegar' is anticipated to resonate with audiences as it delves into the personal and societal ramifications of Gibson's actions.

Described as a 'true-ish story based on a lie', the series explores the rise and fall of Gibson's wellness empire and the cultural context surrounding her fraudulent claims.

Netflix positions the series as a commentary on the misleading nature of health fads and the influence of social media.

Gibson's fraudulent claims led to significant legal repercussions, including a $410,000 fine imposed by the Federal Court in Melbourne for misleading conduct.

The title 'Apple Cider Vinegar' symbolizes hope and wellness, despite the reality that such remedies cannot cure serious illnesses like cancer.

While a trailer for the series has been released, Netflix has yet to confirm a specific premiere date.
