According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming series is expected to be released sometime in early 2025. What’s on Netflix speculates that this could happen as early as February. This timing seems plausible considering Netflix launched the popular limited series Inventing Anna in February 2022, which turned out to be a huge success. We’ll update you once Netflix confirms the official release date.
Synopsis
The tale of Apple Cider Vinegar is traced back to the book “The Woman Who Deceived the World“, which narrates the true account of Belle Gibson, a wellness fraudster who falsely claimed cancer diagnoses to build an online empire. She peddled untruths to her followers, suggesting that their health issues could be addressed or alleviated through alternative treatments and dietary practices.
The show delves deeply into Belle’s deception on social media, her falsehoods, and how she misled people as a “wellness influencer.” It offers a multi-dimensional perspective on the spread of information, digital literacy, and truth in today’s digital era, an issue that remains all too relevant.
Here’s how Netflix describes the series in its official synopsis:
Set at the birth of Instagram, Apple Cider Vinegar follows two young women who set out to cure their life-threatening illnesses through health and wellness, influencing their global online communities along the way. All of which would be incredibly inspiring if it were all true. This is a true-ish story based on a lie, about the rise and fall of a wellness empire; the culture that built it up and the people who tore it down.
Samantha Strauss, renowned for her work on the Hulu series ‘Nine Perfect Strangers’ starring Nicole Kidman and the Australian drama series ‘The End’, is the creator of Apple Cider Vinegar. In an interview with Netflix’s ‘Queue’ magazine, she shared insights into the ideas behind the show’s themes and the significance of its intriguing title.
It’s interesting to look at how media uses food as a weapon against us and how much we crave the nourishment, but how much of a privilege and how expensive it is to try to be well. [With the title,] I wanted something that would capture this idea of hope in a bottle and that could be a bigger umbrella than something that would relate only to Belle.
Cast and teaser
The show is headlined by the exceptionally gifted Kaitlyn Dever, who was previously recognized in the Netflix miniseries “Unbelievable,” garnering her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film. Apart from that, she’s widely acclaimed for her roles in “Last Man Standing,” “Booksmart,” “Dopesick,” “Ticket to Paradise,” and the upcoming second installment of HBO’s “The Last of Us.
The main characters in “Apple Cider Vinegar” include Alycia Debnam-Carey, famously recognized from The CW’s popular series The 100 and AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead, as well as The Bold Type’s Aisha Dee. Interestingly, both actresses are Australian, but Dever skillfully portrays an Australian character, despite being American. (Take a peek at the teaser below!)
