The premiere episode, set to air on January 13 on Max, will explore Margera’s journey toward sobriety, which included a controversial conservatorship. The trailer highlights a legal tug-of-war between BJ Corville, a lawyer investigating Margera’s case, and Lima Jeramovic, a tech entrepreneur using VR technology in addiction treatment.

In the trailer, Margera compares his situation to Britney Spears, saying, “I’m the Britney Spears of Jackass,” referencing the pop star’s high-profile conservatorship battle, which ended in 2021 after 14 years.
The episode details how Margera’s struggles with addiction and mental health, including a bipolar disorder diagnosis and several rehab stints since 2009, led to his placement under legal guardianship. The conservatorship gave others decision-making powers while he sought treatment.
Once a core member of the Jackass crew, Margera was let go from Jackass 4 in 2021 after failing a drug test. He later filed a lawsuit, claiming his termination was a case of illegal discrimination due to his physical and mental health issues.
The episode features interviews with Lima Jeramovic, BJ Corville, Margera’s family, and his former Jackass co-star, Steve-O. Legal analyst Beth Karas, who previously appeared in The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, is also part of the series.
