Documentary Now! is an American mockumentary television series created by Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers, and Rhys Thomas. Armisen and Hader star in many episodes, and Thomas and Alex Buono co-direct most episodes. Hosted by Helen Mirren, the series spoofs celebrated documentary films by parodying the style of each documentary with a similar, but fictitious, subject. The third season of the series premiered on February 20, 2019. The series was renewed for a fourth season on October 19, 2022.
Documentary Now! presents itself as a long-running news magazine for documentaries. Mirren appears at the beginning of each episode to introduce the "classic" documentary that the audience is about to see.
