Peacock sets Oct. 25 premiere for Alexander brothers docuseries

Peacock will premiere The Wolves of Real Estate: The Alexander Brothers on Oct. 25.

The streamer has released a trailer ahead of that date for the three-part documentary series, meaning the story is told across three episodes. It is directed by Emma Schwartz, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The series focuses on brothers Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander. NBCUniversal has described it as an investigation of how the three brothers rose in the elite property world.

Federal prosecutors accused the brothers of operating a sex-trafficking scheme that led to dozens of sexual assaults between 2010 and 2021. The case was brought by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. Around 40 women came forward to authorities.

All three were convicted. The verdict followed a trial lasting several weeks, with evidence and testimony from 11 victims, according to a statement on the convictions from U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton published by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The charges were first announced in Manhattan federal court in December 2024. In the superseding indictment, prosecutors alleged the brothers used their wealth and positions to create and facilitate opportunities to rape and sexually assault women.

The series is based on reporting by Bridget Read and James D. Walsh in a New York Magazine feature. That reporting examined the brothers' business profiles and the allegations made against them.

Peacock lists the title as a Peacock Premiere, its label for a new arrival debuting on the service. It categorises the programme as a true crime docu-series, meaning a non-fiction series about real criminal cases, according to Peacock.

The project was first flagged in NBCUniversal's upfront slate in May, when the company presents coming programmes to advertisers. At that stage it was listed with working-title status, meaning the title was not yet final, according to NBCUniversal.
