  It's been a few years since we last had a new Louis Theroux documentary, and fans have been waiting patiently to find out details of his new project. Up until now he's been keeping shtum about the details but it looks like the wait is finally over as Louis has just revealed what his upcoming 3-part series will be about.
  
  
  
  Louis has just announced that his a new series will be set in America and will explore birth, love and death in the United States. Here’s what he had to say about it:
   
  

  Quote:I have always been interested in how people conduct the most intimate aspects of their lives. For this series we looked at the new ways Americans are approaching some of humanity’s oldest dilemmas: pregnant mums who feel unequipped to keep their babies and so pick new parents for them; the world of polyamory aka ‘ethical non-monogamy’; and people with debilitating conditions who opt to hasten their own deaths.
   
  All of these stories have something a touch utopian about them, involving a kind of idealism and forward thinking that brings new opportunities but also new risks. I have been given extraordinary levels of access to courageous people and families across the United States, many of them enduring unbelievable levels of stress and anguish, and it was a privilege to be allowed into their lives in this most personal way.

  
  It sounds pretty heavy. I've got a feeling I might end up in tears during the part where people have to choose new parents for their kids. Knowing Louis, this will be yet another winning documentary series.

The new series will “look at how people conduct the most intimate aspects of their lives and will explore issues that cross the lines of life, love and death.”
