Production

Directors and executive producers Jehane Noujaim and Vikram Gandhi announced their documentary series revolving around Burning Man in September 2023, with principal photography having commenced in 2021. Double Agent financed the series, with no network attached yet. HBO later boarded the series.

Release

The series had its world premiere June 9, 2026 at Tribeca Festival; episodes also screened June 14 at Sheffield DocFest. HBO launched the series broadcast on July 9, 2026.

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 67%, based on 6 reviews.

On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 64 out of 100 based on 5 reviews.

John Anderson of The Wall Street Journal wrote: "Noujaim and Gandhi are not out to critique Burning Man, or to celebrate it either. The lushness of the cinematography, with its beautiful people, landscapes, improbable sculptures, impractical machines and galaxy of light and dust, is as voluptuous as the festival itself". Joel Keller of Decider suggested viewing the series writing: "An effective overview of Burning Man, a festival that’s misunderstood by many, while examining how its spirit of creativity and community struggles against the reality of the 2020s."

Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter was critical of the series writing: "There’s an edit of The Man Will Burn that would be shorter, tighter and perhaps more sensationalistic, and one that would be longer, richer and more complex, but instead we get an in-between series that’s fun, shallow and, finally, bland in a way Burning Man has always tried to avoid becoming." Keith A. Spencer of Jacobin wrote that the series "doesn't have the patina of evenhanded, independent journalism", noting that the Burning Man Project permitted and promoted the series.
