Quibi is making a series about fake news and its impact on the 2016 presidential election.
The short-form content platform has issued a series order for “Clickbait” (working title), which tells the true story of a group of Macedonian teenagers who made a fortune creating fake news in the run-up to the 2016 election. “Clickbait” will explore the profound effect their work had on the American election and on their own lives. “The Batman” director Matt Reeves is on board to executive produce alongside Ann Ruark (“Boy Erased”).
“Dunkirk” and “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch” alum Fionn Whitehead headlines the cast as Niko, one of the Macedonian teenage ringleaders.
