Louis Theroux Interviews season 2: full lineup of BBC 2 TV series with Chelsea Manning, Pete Doherty, and Raye

On Louis Theroux Interviews season one, the presenter spoke to Stormzy, Dame Judi Dench, Yungblud, Bear Grylls, Katherine Ryan, and Rita Ora. His interview with Katherine Ryan made waves as she spoke about a well-known sexual predator still working in the entertainment industry, whom she was unable to name. 

Less than a year after the interview allegations of rape and sexual assault were made over comic Russell Brand, though it is not clear if he is the person she had referred to in the episode.

In the second season of his show, Theroux interviews more big names from the worlds of entertainment, sport, and politics.
