The Australian miniseries everyone's buzzing about, Apple Cider Vinegar, starring Kaitlyn Dever as Belle Gibson, is making its grand entrance on Netflix exclusively on February 6, 2025. It's a six-part drama based on real-life events, about how a wellness empire comes crashing down because of some fibs. It's a wreck you can't look away from but with green smoothies and yoga pants!

Samantha Strauss, the genius behind Nine Perfect Strangers, is also behind Apple Cider Vinegar, and it's about capturing the vibe of the early Instagram days when wellness was going absolutely bonkers and nobody was checking the facts.

It's a cautionary tale about fake news on social media.


Where to watch Apple Cider Vinegar in the US and beyond?

On February 6, 2025, Apple Cider Vinegar will make its worldwide debut on Netflix. This is fantastic news for folks everywhere, as it means that as long as you've got a Netflix subscription that's up to date, watch it no matter where you live.

Now, let's talk about the specifics for some regions:

If you're in the US, you're all set! Just log into your Netflix account, and the series will be there for you to binge-watch from day one.

Moving on to Australia, this show is going to be a treat since it's an Aussie production. It'll be up on Netflix Australia at the same time it hits the rest of the world, so no worries about spoilers! Because it's all about Australian media and real-life happenings, it's bound to create quite the buzz down under.

Folks in the UK and across Europe won't be left out either. Apple Cider Vinegar will be streaming on Netflix in those areas. The same deal applies here; you'll get the same access as everyone else, regardless of where you are.

If you're in Latin America, like maybe Mexico or Brazil, or across the pond in Asia, say, India, South Korea, or Japan, you're in luck too. If English isn't your jam—there are subtitle and dubbing choices for Apple Cider Vinegar.


Apple Cider Vinegar is basically a true story

The fascination people have with wellness influencers, combined with the risks of false information on the internet, make Apple Cider Vinegar hit the spot. This show is about how social media helped Belle Gibson's lie. She tricked people into thinking she could cure cancer just by changing what you eat and how you live.

Showrunner Samantha Strauss got the idea from real news stories about Gibson. She was especially moved by a book called The Woman Who Fooled the World which was written by journalists Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano.

When she talked to Netflix Tudum, she said,

“We wanted to examine how media uses food as a weapon against us and the extent to which people will go to find hope in a bottle.”

Beyond the controversy, Apple Cider Vinegar shines a light on the more extensive growth of wellness culture, along with the insufficient regulation of health claims we often come across on social media platforms.

This resonates with themes found in other widely-followed series such as The Dropout, centered around Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, and Inventing Anna, which tells the story of the imposter Anna Delvey. For those who enjoy watching dramas based on true stories of deceit, this show is a must.

Kaitlyn Dever's portrayal of Belle Gibson is getting attention, with Strauss expressing admiration for her capacity to embody the character's deceitful charm. According to Netflix Tudum, Dever collaborated closely with Australian dialect coach Jenny Kent to master the accent, as part of her commitment to authenticity.


Considering Netflix's track record with limited series, it seems rather improbable that Apple Cider Vinegar will be made available on other platforms.
