The BBC has already began making ready for Facebook’s twentieth anniversary in 2024: The broadcaster has announced that its factual leisure group has commissioned a three-part documentary about Mark Zuckerberg and the social community he based. Facebook’s story is fairly well-known at this level, and it’s normal data that Zuckerberg initially designed it to attach college students at Harvard. And that the Winklevoss twins sued the Meta chief, claiming he stole their thought. BBC, nonetheless, goals to current a “definitive account” of Mark Zuckerberg and the social community he based. 

That means no dramatized occasions like within the 2010 David Fincher-directed movie starring Jesse Eisenberg. Instead, BBC guarantees entry to “key players, insider testimony, personal journals and rare archive material.” Mindhouse, the TV manufacturing firm behind the undertaking, may also study the rise of the social media and the way it has modified human habits and interplay. It’s unclear if the documentary may also study Facebook’s position in spreading pretend information world wide. 

Nancy Strang, Minhouse Creative Director, Mindhouse, mentioned in a press release: 

“The remarkable story of Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook is one of the tales of our time. He has arguably done more to transform human behaviour and connectivity than any other person this century. I’m thrilled that we’ve been given this opportunity to tell the extraordinary inside story of the social media giant, and the man behind it.”

The docuseries, which has a working title of Zuckerberg, has no premiere date but. But it is going to air on BBC Two and shall be streamable from BBC iPlayer when it comes out.
