The former ‘Weird Weekends’ star will sit down with the ‘Dynasty’ star, 90, and the 33-year-old boxing heavyweight champion - along with other big names like actor Ashley Walters, 41, whistleblower Chelsea Manning, 35, the Libertines frontman Pete Doherty, 44, and 25-year-old singer Raye - for in-depth one-on-one chats across six episodes set to air later at an unconfirmed date.
The 53-year-old broadcaster said: "Working with the team on these six new programmes has been an enormous pleasure. The six guests are all distinctive and brilliant in different ways, all of them people who have endured setbacks and huge successes, and who have something to share with the world based on their journeys through life.
"We have tried to build on the success of the first six 'Louis Theroux Interviews', while pushing further this time into terrain that is gritty and difficult, exploring subjects like mental health, brushes with the law and political controversy."
The BBC said that the series - which was filmed in locations like New York City, Normandy, Glastonbury and the French Riviera - "will bring viewers closer than ever to some of the world’s most well-known personalities" and rely on Louis’ “signature immersive filming style”.
The public broadcaster bosses admitted they were “delighted” that the documentary maker was coming back with an "exciting and eclectic mix of new interviewees" after speaking to Stormzy, Dame Judi Dench, 88, Yungblud, 26, Bear Grylls, 49, Katherine Ryan, 40, and Rita Ora, 32, last season.
