Netflix sets November 19 release for ‘The Altruists’

Netflix’s fictionalized series The Altruists, about the FTX scandal, will be released on November 19. The show follows Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison through the scandal that brought down FTX and led to their imprisonment, according to TechCrunch.

The trailer features Anthony Boyle as Bankman-Fried and Julia Garner as Ellison. The series centers on the real stories of the two former FTX executives, whose roles in the company’s collapse drew attention well beyond the technology industry.

Co-showrunner Graham Moore said in an interview with Netflix this summer that he had been fascinated by both people’s stories from the start. He said their lives were so unusual that he could not have invented characters like them himself.

TechCrunch’s Amanda Silberling reported the release date and trailer. The article describes The Altruists as a fictionalized account of the FTX scandal; it does not provide further details about the series’ production or episode count.
