Finally, HBO Max just dropped The Man Will Burn, an intriguing new docuseries about the annual Burning Man festival in Nevada.
One of the biggest TV hits of the 1970s was Little House on the Prairie, a nostalgic look at American frontier life that was based on Laura Ingalls Wilder‘s beloved book series. Over 40 years after it left the airwaves, Little House is back to charm a whole new generation of viewers, this time on Netflix.

In this reimagining, the Ingalls family, led by the stern but loving patriarch Charles (Luke Bracey), has just found their forever home in the small town of Independence. But American life in the 1800s is a little wild and a whole lot dangerous, and the family of four will have to endure an often unforgiving nature. They also meet the Mitchells, a Native American family who justifiably view their new neighbors with suspicion. Both retro and modern, this new version of Little House on the Prairie is a refreshingly wholesome series that isn’t afraid to tackle serious issues while serving up a comforting look at America’s past.
Burning Man just celebrated its 40th anniversary, which is probably why we’re getting a four-episode docuseries about its surprising history and cultural impact. The Man Will Burn begins in 2021, when the festival’s organizers, among them Elon’s brother, Kimbal, debated bringing it back so soon after the COVID-19 pandemic. It then looks back at how the festival started and grew over the years to be a destination for people around the world to lose themselves – including their minds – in the Nevada desert.
Filming over five years, directors Jehane Noujaim and Vikram Gandhi have complete access to Burning Man’s organization, resulting in a documentary that’s both authoritative and slightly hagiographic. If you’re a fan of the event, you‘ll love The Man Will Burn, but even if you aren’t, you get a taste of what it’s like walking among thousands of scantily-clad attendees doing drugs and watching bonfires light up the night sky.
