The official trailer for Apple TV+’s Hollywood Con Queen documentary series features one of the Con Queen’s victims detailing his encounters with the scam artist who preyed on those hoping for a career in the entertainment industry. The three-part documentary series premieres on May 8, 2024.
“A mysterious figure dubbed the ‘Con Queen’ impersonates the industry’s most powerful women, luring unsuspecting victims to Indonesia with the promise of a life-changing career opportunity,” reads Apple TV+’s synopsis. “The ‘Con Queen’s marks exhaust their personal finances in pursuit of a big break while being exploited in a perverse psychological game spanning the globe. The scam eventually draws the attention of veteran investigative journalist Scott Johnson of The Hollywood Reporter, and dedicated private investigator Nicole Kotsianas, formerly of K2 Integrity, who set out to find the truth, only to discover a story more strange than they could have imagined.”
Hollywood Con Queen comes from Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Chris Smith (Tiger King, Fyre, 100 Foot Wave). Smith and Ben Anderson executive produce, with Scott Johnson involved as a consulting producer.
