The Deep End is finally here and is all set to chronicle the dubious practices of self-appointed spiritual teacher Teal Swan, who has 602,000 Instagram followers and over 145 million YouTube views.
Teal Swan has successfully launched a new mental health business based on her own experiences with suicide ideation and despair. Despite the fact that mental health professionals see her actions as risky and unethical, bordering on suicide glorification, her hundreds of thousands of followers disagree. The forthcoming docu-series on Freeform will tell the story of a controversial spiritual teacher who has amassed a large following as well as critique.

Freeform is coming up with its new four-part docuseries The Deep End, and the trailer released offer viewers a glimpse of the influence of Teal Swan who has become an online spiritual influencer and also a cult leader.
The trailer released introduces viewers to Swan and her incredible group of followers who are nothing short of mesmerized by her influence and charisma. They hang on to every word of her's and even get tattoos of her, and deify her by comparing her to Christ. This absurd devotion is not uncommon to cult behavior but it is indeed surprising how Swan has managed to fashion herself as a cult leader. In the trailer, we see a glimpse of her aspirations and beliefs when she claims she will one day be more popular than the Pope one day.
