Netflix also recently uploaded a date announcement video for the docuseries on their official YouTube channel. In a statement from Stapleton on TUDUM by Netflix, she says, “Ultimately, this story is a mirror [reflecting us] as the public, and what we are saying when we put our celebrities on such a high pedestal. I hope [this documentary] is a wake-up call for how we idolize people, and to understand that everybody is a human being.” Viewers will be able to see interviews with different people who were “formerly in Comb’s orbit,” although Stapleton has made it clear that this docuseries will not be solely about Comb’s story or about his victims’ stories.
