Hollywood already has their sights set on telling the story of the GameStop frenzy that took place earlier this year. But Discovery Plus is taking on that task much sooner, slated to drop a documentary special on the incident hosted by Jordan Belfort, the original “Wolf of Wall Street.”

According to Variety, the one hour GameStop: The Wall Street Hijack (working title) will dive into how a group of young traders on Reddit caused the stock prices of flailing video game retailer GameStop to shoot for the skies and shake up hedge fund investors, Wall Street, and the financial world at large. 

Belfort, now a Wall Street expert, has shown himself to be a supporter of the amateur investors, even releasing a YouTube video where he re-enacted a scene from The Wolf of Wall Street as a message for the Reddit group WallStreetBets. “Now I’ve found some very creative ways to make money on Wall Street,” Belfort says about the documentary, “but I’ve got to say, personally, I love the fact that everyone now has the ability to organize and give the Wall Street players a run for their money. It’s a real David versus Goliath story. I’m praying that the amateur traders are victorious but one thing I can assure you of, it’s going to be a wild ride every step of the way.”

Senior VP and head of factual & sports for Discovery U.K., Simon Downing, stated, “Our investigative Discovery Plus originals have been incredibly popular around the world and we’re delighted to bring fans this timely documentary next month. ‘GameStop: The Wall Street Hijack’ is an informative, entertaining and jaw-dropping look at one the most riveting financial stories of our times.” 

Belfort’s story was quite the rollercoaster, becoming one of the most successful Wall Street traders in the 90s before being sentenced to 22 months for securities fraud and money laundering in 1999. He then wrote a memoir, The Wolf of Wall Street, which was adapted into Martin Scorsese’s 2013 Leonardo DiCaprio-led venture we all recognize. 

The documentary special, produced by ITN Productions, is set to debut on Discovery Plus UK on April 8 and will be released internationally some time this year.
