What Viewers Should Expect From ‘Into the Void’
According to Consequence, Into the Void is being executive-produced by the same team behind Vice TV’s popular pro wrestling docuseries, Dark Side of the Ring.
Episodes of that series feature a narrator who talks through the story. Historical video clips and sit-down interviews are used to provide additional insights.
The trailer for Into the Void looks as though the series will follow a similar setup. Additional interview subjects shown include Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, Zakk Wylde and record producer Dennis MacCay.
Into the Void series premieres on the Hulu streaming service on Sept. 22.
