Vice TV Orders 'Everybody Hates' Sports Docuseries
Vice TV has ordered Everybody Hates, a six-episode anthology docuseries profiling polarising sports figures. The run opens with Jake Paul. It will debut on Vice TV on 27 October at 9 p.m. ET, as reported by Variety.
An anthology means each episode stands alone with a different subject, so viewers can drop in for one story without having seen the others. A docuseries means a documentary told across episodes rather than in a single film. Here the through-line is simple: one athlete per episode, and the debate around them.
After Paul, the series moves through five more names, with Aaron Rodgers next and Caitlin Clark following him. Then come Michael Vick, Cristiano Ronaldo and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Each headlines a separate instalment, keeping the focus on one career and one public conversation at a time.
The broadcast pattern is weekly in the same slot, starting with Rodgers on 3 November and Clark on 10 November. Vick follows on 17 November, with Ronaldo on 24 November close behind. Mayweather Jr. closes the first series on 1 December. That is six weeks in the same slot with one new subject each week.
There is also a catch-up plan, with select episodes premiering on the Vice TV YouTube channel the day after they air on television. That day-after window, meaning a free streaming release that follows the first broadcast, matters for viewers who do not have the channel in their package. The series itself is produced by Vice Studios. Vice TV is led by president Pete Gaffney.
The order is a straight-to-series order, meaning Vice TV has committed to six episodes without shooting a pilot first. A pilot is a test episode that a channel can approve or reject. Skipping that step locks the shape of the run from the start.
An evening slot at 9 p.m. ET puts the show in prime time on the United States East Coast, with ET standing for Eastern Time. For viewers elsewhere in the United States, that same broadcast lands earlier in the evening. YouTube catch-up smooths over those time-zone gaps the next day.
What makes this stand out is the structure. Weekly profiles keep each debate separate. Paul's story does not bleed into Rodgers'. For fans, this means easy viewing: watch live at 9 p.m. or pick up select episodes on YouTube the next day, and follow only the names you know best or stay for all six.
