Since 2013, countless Hollywood gig workers have been lured to Jakarta by fake emails from big Hollywood names. After spending lots of money and wasting a week, they find out that there was no job to begin with.

In Hollywood Con Queen, a journalist enlists a private detective in order to find out who's perpetuating the scam. They'll end up travelling all around the world to hunt for the culprit and also to interview people who were affected by the con.

So here's how to watch Hollywood Con Queen to find out for yourself about this long-running scam.

How to watch Hollywood Con Queen

If you want to watch Hollywood Con Queen, you'll need to be a subscriber to the streaming service Apple TV Plus, because the docu-series was created especially for Apple's platform.

You can sign up for Apple TV Plus for as little as $9.99 / £8.99 per month, with an annual subscription available in some countries (but not all of them). In some countries there's an Apple TV Plus MLS plan for Major League Soccer streaming, but this doesn't let you watch documentaries like Hollywood Con Queen.

All three episodes of Hollywood Con Queen will be uploaded to Apple TV Plus at the same time on Wednesday, May 8, so you won't need to wait for new episodes to be released weekly.
