HBO Docuseries ‘Q: Into the Storm’ Wants to Solve the Mystery of QAnon
Greta Bjornson - Feb 26, 2021
HBO is exploring one of the most influential forces in American politics in the past year with a new documentary series. Titled Q: Into the Storm, the upcoming show digs into the origins of QAnon, a conspiracy theory that’s grown from an obscure online community to a massive movement within the last couple of years.
In a first look for Q: Into the Storm released this morning, HBO teases an investigation “to reveal who controls the game that became a reality: QAnon.” Sprinkled with quotes and phrases from QAnon followers, like “the media is just lying to you,” and “we’re fighting a war against evil,” today’s Q: Into the Storm teaser hints at a digital deep dive into the online community that shows no signs of slowing down.
Over the course of six hour-long episodes, the new series “charts a labyrinthine journey to unmask the mastermind behind QAnon,” per HBO. The investigation featured in Q: Into the Storm took place over the course of three years, and viewers will finally be able to see the footage when the first couple of episodes of the show premiere later next month.
Specifically, the new series will show audiences “the evolution of ‘Q’ in real-time with unprecedented access to key players, revealing how the anonymous character known only as ‘Q’ uses conspiracy theories and information warfare to game the internet, hijack politics, and manipulate people’s thinking,” HBO shared in today’s press release.
While Q: Into the Storm tries to get to the root of Q, the series also examines how the anonymous presence came to infiltrate American culture, and “question the consequences of unfettered free speech permeating the darkest corners of the internet.”
The first two episodes of Q: Into the Storm premiere on HBO Sunday, March 21 at 9/8c, with subsequent episodes airing back-to-back weekly on Sundays. Episodes will also be available to stream on HBO Max. Watch the full teaser for Q: Into the Storm in the video above.
