In Short: Netflix launches 'Hunting Gary Glitter,' a doc series following journalists and survivors in their pursuit of the former pop star, Gary Glitter, who was exposed as a serial child abuser.

Netflix has unveiled 'Hunting Gary Glitter,' a documentary series that follows the relentless pursuit of journalists and survivors as they expose the former pop star Gary Glitter, who was convicted of child sexual abuse in 1997 and spent years on the run. The series, set to launch on October 14, charts Glitter's journey from his conviction to his eventual incarceration, highlighting the dedication of the journalists who chased him across the globe.

Produced by Voltage TV and featuring Sam Starbuck and Sanjay Singhal, the three-part series builds on Netflix's previous true crime series, such as the Jimmy Savile doc, offering a deep dive into the lives of those affected by Glitter's abuse. The doc series aims to shed light on the ongoing efforts to bring justice to the victims of his crimes.

The trailer for the series, titled 'A Day in a Rookie Staff Member's Life,' provides a glimpse into the cooking, interior design, and character interactions within the game One Piece: Grand Gourmet, which is set to launch on October 23 for various platforms. While the game is unrelated to the doc series, it marks the start of a busy month for Netflix with the release of Pride and Prejudice and the final trailer for The Vvaan.

In a year filled with regency drama, Netflix's six-part Pride and Prejudice is set to premiere on December 3, promising to bring Jane Austen's iconic story to new audiences. The series is expected to inspire a new generation of Austen fans, following the world premiere of Focus Features' Sense and Sensibility, which took place just last night.
