HULU ANNOUNCES NEW DOCUSERIES "DEVIL IN THE FAMILY: THE FALL OF RUBY FRANKE"

FROM PASSION PICTURES

3-PART SERIES TO PREMIERE FEBRUARY 27

Hulu announced today the new original documentary series, "Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke," produced by Passion Pictures.

The docuseries is set to premiere February 27 on Hulu, with all three parts. It will also be available via Hulu on Disney+ for Bundle subscribers.

Synopsis: When popular vlogger Ruby Franke is arrested for child abuse in August 2023, it quickly becomes one of the biggest trending stories in America. For years, the Frankes' YouTube channel had documented a wholesome, happy family life, with 2.5 million subscribers tuning in at its peak. But happy families are rarely what they seem. As the cracks began to show, the family turned to counselor Jodi Hildebrandt for guidance - and rapidly found themselves trapped in a nightmare. Only the Frankes know what went on inside their home. This series marks the first time Shari and Chad, the Frankes' two eldest adult children, and Kevin, Ruby's husband, will share their story in depth on camera. With exclusive access to the Frankes, their friends and neighbors, and over a thousand hours of their YouTube channel's unseen footage, Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke cuts through the social media reaction to explore the untold story behind the Ruby Franke case: part family tragedy, part coming-of-age narrative, part tale of our times about the perils of life lived online.

Credits: Directed by Olly Lambert and produced by Passion Pictures.

The project joins Hulu's doc slate, including "God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty," "Victoria's Secret: Angels and Demons," "Stolen Youth: The Cult at Sarah Lawrence," "Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told," "The Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini," "Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band" and more.
