ID recently announced details on Andrew Tate: Toxic Empire, premiering Nov. 25. The series begins with a two-hour opening installment, followed by new episodes over three weeks.

News of the docuseries comes as the brothers sit in federal custody following their July arrest in Miami. The two are facing extradition to Britain on sex crime charges.

Both brothers denied wrongdoing. Still, a federal judge denied their request for bail in September.

Additionally, prosecutors in Romania have indicted Andrew on allegations of trafficking minors, money laundering, engaging in sex with a minor and witness tampering, Reuters reported. Tristan was indicted for complicity.

According to ID, the new series explores the pair’s influence within the “manosphere,” an online world centered around ideas about masculinity, where Andrew attracted millions of followers by  promoting a luxury lifestyle, male dominance and misogyny.

Per ID, the series includes interviews with former followers, alleged victims and investigative journalists, along with archival footage, and details on the pair’s business operations.

It also goes inside the War Room, Andrew’s international network for wealthy and ambitious men. According to published reports, membership at one point went for about $8,000.

The series also focuses on the brothers’ webcam business and their “PhD” program, short for “Pimping Hoes Degree.”

Former “students” allege the program taught men how to recruit and exploit women, while taking most of the webcam profits. ID says the course was later shut down amid accusations against the brothers.

Andrew Tate: Toxic Empire is directed and produced by Julian P. Hobbs, Elli Hakami and Adrian Murray for Investigation Discovery.

The series premieres Wednesday, Nov. 25, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ID Channel. It will also be available to stream on HBO Max. You can watch the trailer here.
