“An exclusive behind the scenes look at the infamous unraveling of the Fyre music festival,” Netflix said of the doco, which will premiere January 18. 

“Created by Billy McFarland and rapper Ja Rule, Fyre was promoted as a luxury music festival on a private island in the Bahamas featuring bikini-clad supermodels, A-List musical performances and posh amenities. Guests arrived to discover the reality was far from the promises.”

In October, Billy McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison, on charges that were related to both Fyre Festival, and other counts of fraud.

Federal prosecutors have called him “the consummate con artist.”

“The remorse I feel is crushing,” McFarland told the court. “I lived every day with the weight of knowing that I literally destroyed the lives of my friends and family.” In addition, McFarland’s legal team said that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, meaning that he was unable to determine what was right and what was wrong.”

Two Fyre Festival goers were actually awarded $5 million in damages following their ordeal.
