Original Title: REN FAIRE (2024) — Produced by the Safdie brothers & HBO (dir. Lance Oppenheim), this documentary series follows a succession crisis at the largest renaissance festival in the world [Trailer] [2:30]

This is a new three-part documentary series that debuts on June 2. Having loved Oppenheim’s other work (Some Kind of Heaven, Spermworld), I personally cannot wait to see this! The trailer makes it seem like a gripping drama, yet it’s all real. As the saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction.
