It’s a great time to be alive if you follow tech news and love messy drama. We’re not just getting a Nathan Fielder documentary about Elizabeth Holmes this fall. Netflix’s “The Altruists,” which follows Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison through the scandal that crushed FTX and landed them in prison, is coming out on November 19.

We can’t say we ever expected that the ethical disconnects behind effective altruism were going to pique the interest of Hollywood, but hopefully, Netflix will do the strangeness of this story justice.
“From the very beginning, I was so fascinated by both Sam’s and Caroline’s real stories,” co-showrunner Graham Moore said in an interview with Netflix this summer. “Those are both characters I could not have possibly made up had I tried — I’m not nearly a good enough writer to create characters as fascinating as either Sam Bankman-Fried or Caroline Ellison.”
