Fans of the series Inventing Anna will be delighted. Netflix has just revealed the first images of a similar project which will also please those who closely follow news from the sphere of influence. It is about the series Apple Cider Vinegarsoon available on the platform. It features the fabulous Kaitlyn Dever, the actress who will also play Abby in season 2 of The Last of Us.
Here she puts herself in the shoes of an unscrupulous influencer, ready to do anything to be rich and famous, even to tell the worst lies to her caring community. His goal? Sell an image, a dream, but also win the race to see who will be the most popular. With humor and above all a modern look at society, the series Apple Cider Vinegar tells how influencer communication can sometimes wreak havoc.
Netflix states that this is a “plausible story, based on a lie“. Not enough to point to a real culprit in real life, we nevertheless cannot ignore the precision with which the firm describes certain societal phenomena.

A relevant, but romanticized, vision of influence
The series questions the practices of certain influencers whose income comes from the marketing of products, or from their advertising and the customers they bring to the brand. It is true that spheres of influence have been little regulated until now, leading to scams or ethical problems of all kinds over the years. Belle Gibson’s story may not be specifically inspired by real events, but it echoes several similar stories involving content creators around the world.
France has obviously not been spared its share of scandals and rapper Booba has long volunteered to carry the standard of those who fight against “influvoleurs” (a contraction of influencer and thief). He will not appear in a cameo – according to the latest information received – but we will think of him when the series is available on Netflix next February 6.
