Netflix has revealed the complete trailer for Apple Cider Vinegar, a brand new collection launching on February 6, 2025 – and it appears like a relentless experience of outrageous influencer grifting.
Set throughout the early days of influencers actually breaking out and turning into a dominant voice within the media, it follows self-styled two wellness gurus who each encourage a nutritious diet and life-style to beat most cancers. Belle Gibson (Kaitlyn Dever) builds an empire based mostly on her weight-reduction plan that ‘cured’ her most cancers… besides she by no means had most cancers within the first place.

The collection appears prefer it’ll dig deep into the delusions that take maintain amongst aggressive personalities in a world by which success outlined by how many individuals will hearken to you, and the concern of what is going to occur if another person has a extra compelling story is ever current.
It’s described as “true-ish” by Netflix, which says it is based mostly on an actual particular person and actual occasions, however with closely fictionalized components and characters added to inform the story in the best way the creators wish to… which is mainly the norm for this type of collection, so it is good that Netflix is acknowledging that greater than regular. However, it is potential that this has much less to do with conscientiousness, and extra to do with the lawsuit over Baby Reindeer being a ‘true’ story.
Apple Cider Vinegar looks like it’s going to be a deep and unflinching have a look at the insecurity and desperation that leads somebody down the trail of inventing a third most cancers to fake-survive, and the way the buildings of social media can help and encourage such habits.
I feel Kaitlyn Dever is a superb actress who’s been barely underused since breaking out in Booksmart, although I did actually get pleasure from No One Will Save You, and Dopesick was an enormous hit. Apple Cider Vinegar appears prefer it’ll give her one thing actually unhinged to chew on, and I’m completely right here for that.
