Netflix doc to focus on man behind admissions scandal

A Netflix documentary will use actor re-creations of FBI wiretaps to tell the story of Rick Singer, the man at the center of the college admissions scandal that sent actors Felicity Huffman, Lori Loughlin and several other prominent parents to prison.

Netflix announced Monday that “Operation Varsity Blues” will be released March 17.

Named for the FBI operation that exposed the scandal, the documentary will focus not on convicted celebrities, but on how Singer persuaded them and many other wealthy clients to cheat to get their children into elite colleges.
