FX Sets the Next Documentary Film From The New York Times Presents "Superspreader"

Premieres Friday, August 19 at 10 p.m. ET Simultaneously on FX and Hulu

From Producer / Director Lora Moftah

"Superspreader" Trailer Released Today

LOS ANGELES, July 27, 2022 - FX's acclaimed documentary film series The New York Times Presents returns Friday, August 19 with its latest feature, "Superspreader" from Producer / Director Lora Moftah. The film will premiere at 10 p.m. ET/PT simultaneously on FX and Hulu. The official trailer was also released today.

Are you hesitant to get a Covid vaccine? This doctor opposes them. If you agree, he has some pet supplies he wants to sell you. Meet Dr. Mercola, perhaps the most influential spreader of Covid vaccine misinformation online.

More than two years into the coronavirus pandemic, public health officials are still struggling to convince people that there is overwhelming evidence to prove that vaccines save lives. Why is there so much distrust? Researchers blame people like Dr. Joseph Mercola, an osteopathic physician in Florida who has long been a subject of criticism and government regulatory actions for his promotion of unproven or unapproved treatments. More recently, he has become a leading spreader of Coronavirus misinformation online, according to researchers, building a vast operation to push natural health cures and disseminate anti-vaccination content - while reaping immense profits.

"Superspreader" is the latest project from Laura Moftah, who also was a producer on The New York Times Presents films "The Killing of Breonna Taylor," "To Live and Die in Alabama," "Who Gets To Be an Influencer?" and "They Get Brave." Moftah was also a producer on the FX and Hulu docuseries The Weekly.

The New York Times Presents, a series of standalone documentary films powered by the unparalleled journalism and insight of journalists at The New York Times, is produced by The New York Times and Left/Right. Among the series' acclaimed features are "The Killing of Breonna Taylor," the Emmy nominated "Framing Britney Spears" and "Controlling Britney Spears" and "Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson."

Executive Producers are Ken Druckerman, Banks Tarver, Mary Robertson, Jason Stallman, Sam Dolnick, Stephanie Preiss and Esther Dere. Dere also serves as the Showrunner of The New York Times Presents. Liz Day is Supervising Producer, and Rachel Abrams is Senior Producer.

The New York Times Presents is produced by the same team responsible for the FX and Hulu docuseries The Weekly, which won four News & Documentary Emmy Awards, an Overseas Press Club award, and its reporting on how a predatory lending scheme had corrupted the taxi industry in New York and elsewhere was part of a body of work that was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.

With more than 1,700 journalists who have reported from over 160 countries since 2019, The Times publishes about 150 pieces of journalism each day, including exclusive reporting on topics ranging from politics to culture to climate to sports to business. The New York Times Presents will continue to tell those stories in a visual and unforgettable way.
