Narrating Documentary Now's Season Premiere "Soldier of Illusion" October 19!

I’ve been lucky enough to be in all four seasons of “Documentary Now,” the amazing anthology series produced by Seth Meyers, Bill Hader, and Fred Armisen, and directed by Alex Buono and Rhys Thomas. Each episode parodies a different documentary.

On October 19, their newest season will premiere with their two-episode take on “Burden of Dreams,” the documentary about director Werner Herzog making “Fitzcarraldo.” The hilarious new spoof is called “Soldier of Illusion,” stars Alexander Skarsgard, Nicholas Braun, and Fred Armisen, and was written by John Mulaney.

If you’ve seen “Burden of Dreams” you’ll have heard a very distinctive female narrator, Candace Laughlin. If you watch “Soldier of Illusion,” you’ll hear my narration take on her brilliant delivery.

Check out IFC and AMC+ starting October 19 for the newest installments of the always amazing “Documentary Now!” Here’s the trailer for the season (which will also include Cate Blanchett and a wild take on “My Octopus Teacher”!):
