How to Become a Cult Leader (Season 1)

How to Become a Cult Leader (2023) is a Netflix documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Narrated by Peter Dinklage, it examines six real cults through a deliberately absurd frame: each episode is structured as a practical chapter in a guidebook for aspiring leaders.

Step one: build devotion. Step two: remove the exits. The same mechanics — love-bombing, isolation, financial control — show up in every case regardless of ideology. Former FBI agent Asha Rangappa and other experts break down why the pattern keeps working. TV-MA, and it earns that rating: the series doesn't soften what happened to the people inside.
