Watch the trailer for ‘The Altruists,’ Netflix’s show about the FTX scandal

Netflix’s The Altruists, debuting November 19, dramatizes the rise and collapse of FTX through Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison. The series stars Anthony Boyle and Julia Garner and focuses on the scandal that led both central figures to prison.

The show reflects Hollywood’s growing appetite for turning recent tech scandals into prestige drama while public interest remains high. By framing FTX through effective altruism and personal relationships, Netflix may shape mainstream understanding of one of crypto’s biggest failures.
