It will bow on BBC Select on May 13.<\/p>\n<p>This four-episode series is the latest from Theroux, known for his documentaries involving subcultures and people on the fringes of society, and part of a large collection of his work, available exclusively on BBC Select.<\/p>\n<p>Theroux said: \u201cFor years, I\u2019ve wanted to go back and make sense of the programs I\u2019ve made, find out what happened to some of the contributors, update their stories and see what all these many hours of making TV might add up to.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lockdown gave me the time and space to do this. It\u2019s been a strange and fascinating couple of months working on this, and especially fun to dig through old episodes of <em>Weird Weekends<\/em>\u2014programs I made in the mid-\u201990s when the world was a very different place.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m really proud of what we\u2019ve been able to do with this new series. I think we\u2019ve been able to make the whole add up to more than the sum of the parts and to bring out surprising themes and commonalities. And, if nothing else, it was an interesting review of how my haircuts and glasses have changed over the years.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Louis Theroux: Life on the Edge is slated to debut in the U.S. and Canada on the new streaming service BBC Select, available via Amazon Prime Video and the Apple TV app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":15993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[5029],"class_list":["post-15992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-louis-theroux-life-on-the-edge","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BBC Select Launches Louis Theroux: Life on the Edge - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-select-launches-louis-theroux-life-on-the-edge\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BBC Select Launches Louis Theroux: Life on the Edge - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Louis Theroux: Life on the Edge is slated to debut in the U.S. and Canada on the new streaming service BBC Select, available via Amazon Prime Video and the Apple TV app.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-select-launches-louis-theroux-life-on-the-edge\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-04-09T14:12:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-04-09T15:55:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Louis-Theroux-Life-on-the-Edge-bbc-two-720.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-select-launches-louis-theroux-life-on-the-edge\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-select-launches-louis-theroux-life-on-the-edge\/\",\"name\":\"BBC Select Launches Louis Theroux: Life on the Edge - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-04-09T14:12:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-04-09T15:55:03+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-select-launches-louis-theroux-life-on-the-edge\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-select-launches-louis-theroux-life-on-the-edge\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-select-launches-louis-theroux-life-on-the-edge\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"BBC Select Launches Louis Theroux: Life on the Edge\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
