There’s a new Andrew Tate documentary coming out this week in the UK – but there is a way to watch it if you’re in the US.
Right now, the controversial influencer and his brother Tristan Tate are awaiting trial in Romania on charges of human trafficking and sexual assault.
Following the trial, the brothers are set to be extradited to the UK after a warrant was issued in March 2024 on separate charges of sexual aggression dating back to between 2012 and 2015.
As the cases continue to unfold, a new documentary looking at Andrew Tate’s rise to infamy is set to arrive this week, titled Doom Scroll: Andrew Tate & The Dark Side of the Internet.

Doom Scroll: Andrew Tate & The Dark Side of the Internet drops on July 25 on Sky Documentaries at 9pm BST.

What’s Doom Scroll about?
The documentary not only focuses on Andrew Tate’s meteoric rise online, even amid criminal charges, but also how it’s a symptom of the digital era in which social media algorithms can influence large swaths of impressionable minds.
As per the official synopsis, “How does a self-professed misogynist become one of the world’s most influential people, and remain so even after being charged with rape and human trafficking?”
Sky goes on to state, “Doom Scroll: Andrew Tate & The Dark Side of the Internet goes beyond the headlines to explore how and why someone with such toxic views can take hold of so many millions of young followers.
“The film highlights the dark influence of social media platforms and how their carefully-crafted algorithms have shaped our world today.”
As well as featuring interviews with critics, we’ll hear from individuals who know Tate, as well as a number of architects of the social media algorithms.
