Louis Theroux is working on a new documentary based on the Netflix series Adolescence.

The 55-year-old documentary maker and podcaster is developing the new project – which will investigate the experience of online misogyny on boys - through his production company Mindhouse.

A source told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “It makes sense to produce a documentary looking at this deeply uncomfortable area, particularly in the wake of the drama which stunned the nation.

"Having someone of Louis’ calibre spearheading it adds to the heft and will keep the subject matter at the forefront of people’s minds.”

The programme will investigate the effect people like misogynist Andrew Tate and UK vlogger HSTikkyTokky, whose real name Harrison Sullivan, 20, have on young men.

Adolescence – starring Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham - tells the story of how 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Cooper) is arrested for the murder of his school classmate Katie Leonard (Emilia Holliday).
