Mark Wahlberg is producing a documentary series charting the rise and fall of the subscription service MoviePass. The show is solely based on Insider reporter Jason Guerrasio’s award-winning coverage of the company which offered access to unlimited movie screenings for $9.95 monthly.
The service boasted around 3 million subscribers, a number that diminished to 225,000 by 2019 due to series of misjudgment, including forced subscriptions and location tracking wrangles. In that same year, MoviePass was closed after its parent, Helios and Matheson Analytics, declared bankruptcy.
It joins other upcoming projects about disruptive startups including Hulu’s limited series about Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes and Apple’s show on WeWork’s unraveling, starring a-listers Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway.
There’s no word on where the MoviePass series will be available to watch, but Wahlberg has previously produced several shows for HBO, such as Entourage, Ballers, and the upcoming HBO Max reality series about his day-to-day life, Wahl Street.
