Buoyed by the success of his first project, Spurlock delved into other documentaries, including 2008‘s “Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?” and 2011’s ‘POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold’. He also created the reality series ‘30 Days’ in 2005 and helped Hulu dive into original programming with the platform’s first series, ‘A Day in the Life.’

In 2017, as the #MeToo movement gathered pace, Spurlock admitted to past sexual misconduct in a statement posted on social media.

‘After months of these revelations, I have come to realise that I am not an innocent bystander, but also part of the problem,’ he wrote at the time, referring to the recent wave of sexual misconduct allegations against prominent men.

He resigned as CEO of his production company.

Spurlock was also a prolific writer and producer. Some of his other credits include ‘Rats’, ‘7 Deadly Sins’ and ‘No Man’s Land’.
