Over the course of three episodes, he delves into three very different worlds: the far-right Capitol Hill rioters, hip hop artists and the porn industry.

But they all have one major thing in common - their influence from the internet and social media.

The official BBC synopsis reads: “Travelling the length and breadth of the United States, Louis will meet an assortment of content creators who promote far-right views, self-destructive performers - and in some cases alleged predators - whose work involves them promoting and enacting the most risqué, immoral and illegal behaviour.”

The first episode of Louis Theroux's Forbidden America will air at 9pm on Sunday 13 February.

The next two episodes will air weekly in the same time slot.

Catch it on BBC Two or stream it on BBC iPlayer.
