Is Shadowland coming back?

Shadowland ended on September 21, 2022, on Peacock.

Shadowland was a six-part documentary series that premiered in 2022. It was inspired by reporting in The Atlantic magazine and directed by award-winning filmmaker Joe Berlinger. The series took viewers across America to meet individuals who have rejected mainstream narratives, revealing how conspiracy theories have moved from the margins to the mainstream. It examined real-time stories, such as a rural Pennsylvania pizza shop owner facing prison for her role in the January 6th riots, an anti-vaccine activist promoting a fake Covid-19 cure, and a mother divorcing her husband out of fear for her children's safety. Through an immersive approach, Shadowland explored why these theories are so alluring and how they influence personal beliefs, family dynamics, and the functioning of democracy.

The series provided a deeply personal look at the rise of conspiracy thinking and its impact on American society. It aimed to shed light on the factors that drive individuals toward these beliefs and the consequences for communities and the nation as a whole. As a documentary, it aimed to serve as a wakeup call about the dangerous influence of conspiracy theories and the importance of understanding their appeal.

Each episode had a runtime of approximately 54 minutes.
