According to a report by Engadget, "The show will be based on an investigative piece from Olivia Carville that outlines how an 'elite' team handles horrific incidents, including hidden camera creeps, scammers and cleaning up the aftermaths of violent crimes."
A report by Deadline adds that the documentary series will also show the public what Airbnb's operational procedures are when it comes to dealing with incidents that are related to safety.

It should be noted, however, that no release date has been provided as of press time. It is likewise unclear where the documentary series will air.

The investigative piece that will serve as the basis of the Airbnb documentary series is titled "Airbnb is Spending Millions of Dollars to Make Nightmares Go Away," which became a cover story recently on Bloomberg Businessweek.
"For all its importance, the safety team remains shrouded in secrecy," Carville says of the team.

Airbnb Employees Can Now Work From Home Forever
In other Airbnb-related news, it has been recently reported that majority of the company's employees can now work remotely for an indefinite period of time. Should they want to return to the office, that is allowed as well.
Employees now also have the option to relocate anywhere in the country. This means that an employee can opt to live and work in any of the list of 170 countries Airbnb has approved "for up to 90 days a year in each location" provided that the employee keeps a permanent address on file.
According to the report by The Verge, employees who opt to work remotely will not have to take a pay cut.
The change is being implemented after Airbnb said that the past two years have been the "most productive" even as its employees worked remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, The Verge's report has also noted that the company laid off a quarter of its workforce during the same span of time.
