Kaitlyn Dever will lead the cast of Apple Cider Vinegar.
Netflix has released a trailer and some first-look images of Unbelievable and Booksmart star Kaitlyn Dever in upcoming drama Apple Cider Vinegar.
Billed as a "true-ish story based on a lie", the series is set during the early days of Instagram and tells the story of the "rise and fall of a wellness empire" including "the culture that built it up and the people who tore it down".
Specifically, it is inspired by the tale of Belle Gibson – played by Dever – an Australian wellness influencer who claimed to have cured her terminal brain cancer through health and wellness.
The official synopsis reads: "Apple Cider Vinegar follows two young women who set out to cure their life-threatening illnesses through health and wellness, influencing their global online communities along the way.
"All of which would be incredibly inspiring if it were all true."
The trailer begins with Belle (Dever) being asked to explain how "this all started", to which she explains that four years prior, she had been diagnosed with a brain tumour and had embarked on a quest to heal herself "naturally" and had "built a beautiful community".
We see various snippets as she rises to the top and gains thousands of followers and sympathisers – only for it to emerge that everything, including her diagnosis, had been a lie.

In addition to Dever, the cast for the Limited Series also includes Alycia Debnam-Carey (Fear the Walking Dead), Aisha Dee (Safe Home), Tilda Cobham-Hervey (The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart), Ashley Zukerman (Succession) and Mark Coles Smith (Mystery Road: Origin).
