Showtime’s new docuseries,
Supervillain: The Making of Tekashi 6ix9ine, will premiere on February 21st, with all episodes available on the network’s on-demand platforms starting that day. Showtime and
Rolling Stone, which co-produced
Supervillain alongside Imagine Documentaries and Lightbox, are also presenting an exclusive advanced screening of the first episode, followed by a panel with director Karam Gill and executive producer Pete Scalettar, moderated by
Rolling Stone President & COO Gus Wenner.
A trailer for the series offers a condensed review of 6ix9ine’s rise from an insecure outcast to one of the most polarizing, reviled, and fascinating figures in hip-hop and pop culture. The clip also touches on 6ix9ine’s increasing affiliation with various gang members, culminating in his arrest, prison sentence, and testimony in a blockbuster trial that led to the conviction of two purported members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
