Grime artist Stormzy will be seen in a new BBC series titled The Louis Theroux Interviews, where the documentary icon will be interviewing the Brit Award winner in an episode focused on him.

The Louis Theroux Interviews is a six-part series having conversations with a selection of the largest names in entertainment and music. The pilot episode is said to allow viewers to join Stormzy on tour in the eyes of Theroux as well gain an insight into the rapper's life at home. Audiences have been encouraged to expect an in-depth and personally revealing encounter with the British rapper.

Speaking about the series, Theroux said: "I'm so excited to be embarking on this new series – something very different to the kind of TV I normally make. This will be a chance to meet and spend time with people I admire, getting to know them, having long form and revealing conversations, with honesty, emotion, and humour." "To be kicking off with the genius that is Stormzy is proper pinch-me stuff. I can't wait to get going."

Stormzy has been praised within the black and wider community for his constant and personal efforts to better disadvantaged neighbourhoods and help important social causes.The date of release nor the remaining five interviews have yet been announced, however, the excitement of release will likely be generated in viewers with the promise of an exploration of Stormzy's day-to-day life.

This is particularly because the rapper has traditionally kept a private life despite his popularity. In February 2020, Stormzy deleted both his Instagram and Twitter accounts after being consistently vocal about the dangers of social media and the toxicity that can accompany it.

The new series which is considered a stray from Theroux's usual creative ventures has been given the stamp of approval by the BBC's head of Commissioning on documentaries, history and religion, Clare Sillery:"Louis is one of the most distinctive voices in broadcasting and his unique interview style, warmth and curiosity help bring out incredible life stories from those he meets."I am pleased to see him returning with a series that I'm sure will deliver insightful and memorable conversations and bring viewers closer to some of the most exciting names who are shaping culture in Britain today and across the world."
