Apple TV is expanding into the true crime genre with Twisted Yoga, a three-episode docuseries premiering Friday, March 13. The series follows young yoga students who became entangled with Romanian spiritual leader Gregorian Bivolaru, facing charges including human trafficking and rape. All episodes drop simultaneously, marking Apple's second true crime project after The Big Conn.

Twisted Yoga explores how Bivolaru's international yoga network, specializing in tantric rituals, allegedly turned into a cult. Students discovered Bivolaru's dark past after fearing they'd been manipulated, with some women working with French authorities to pursue charges. The docuseries examines the psychological manipulation and alleged crimes within the yoga community.

This move signals Apple TV's potential expansion into true crime content, a genre that has proven highly successful for competitors like Netflix with hits such as Making a Murderer. Whether Twisted Yoga represents a one-off experiment or the beginning of a broader true crime lineup remains to be seen, but it demonstrates Apple's willingness to explore popular documentary formats beyond its usual programming.
