Director Chris Smith (“Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened”) gets another juicy contemporary headline-grabber to unpack with “Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal.” This new film might lack the larger-than-life players and salty schadenfreude of that earlier Netflix documentary, but it does offer a look into both the titular scam and a broken higher education system that allowed for such chicanery.

Netflix has released the first teaser for
Operation Varsity Blues, a documentary that examines the 2019 college admissions scandal and the man at the center of it, Rick Singer.
Directed by Chris Smith (

The parents initially charged with fraud included Lori Loughlin, her husband Mossimo Giannulli, actress Felicity Huffman, Wynn Resorts executive Gamal Abdelaziz, investment firm CEO Manuel Henriquez, and International Dispensing Corporation founder and chairman Gregory Abbott.
