Netflix has officially announced an upcoming documentary centered on one of the most influential bands in music history: The Beatles. Set to premiere globally in early 2026, the documentary—tentatively titled The Beatles: Get Back Again—will offer an in-depth exploration of the legendary British band’s unparalleled legacy, from their early beginnings in Liverpool to their rise as global cultural icons.
A Fresh Look at a Legendary Band
This new film aims to go beyond the well-known milestones of The Beatles’ journey and instead explore lesser-seen aspects of their creative process, personal dynamics, and cultural impact. Drawing on hours of previously unreleased archival footage, studio recordings, and intimate interviews, the documentary promises to provide an immersive, behind-the-scenes look into the band’s life and evolution.
According to Netflix, the documentary will feature new insights from surviving members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with never-before-seen interviews with those who worked closely with the band, including producers, engineers, and close friends. Also featured will be personal footage from the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, giving fans a deeply human perspective on the Fab Four’s extraordinary journey.
Directed by a Music Film Veteran
The documentary is being helmed by Morgan Neville, the Academy Award-winning director behind 20 Feet from Stardom and Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Neville has earned a reputation for emotionally rich storytelling and has promised to highlight both the creative highs and personal tensions that defined The Beatles’ meteoric rise and eventual breakup.

“This isn’t just a music documentary—it’s a cultural time capsule,” Neville said in a statement. “We’re trying to bring viewers into the heart of The Beatles’ universe, to feel what it was like to be part of that incredible creative energy.”
A New Companion to Get Back
While Peter Jackson’s The Beatles: Get Back (released in 2021) focused on the making of the band’s final album Let It Be, this new Netflix documentary seeks to tell a broader story—chronicling their entire journey from the Cavern Club to Abbey Road. Jackson’s docuseries redefined how fans viewed the band’s final days, and Netflix’s offering is expected to build upon that momentum, offering fans both new material and deeper emotional insights.
Timely Release and Cultural Relevance
The release of The Beatles: Get Back Again coincides with the 65th anniversary of the band’s formation, making it a fitting moment to reflect on their lasting influence. Their music remains timeless, and their impact on pop culture, politics, fashion, and art continues to be studied and celebrated.
Fans can expect restored concert footage from landmark performances such as Shea Stadium and The Ed Sullivan Show, along with behind-the-scenes looks at recording sessions for iconic albums like Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, The White Album, and Revolver.
Final Word
Netflix’s decision to release a Beatles documentary further cements the streaming platform’s role in preserving and retelling musical history. Following the success of other music-centered projects such as the Taylor Swift: Miss Americana and WHAM!, this upcoming Beatles film is poised to be both a critical and commercial hit.
For Beatles fans, historians, and music lovers alike, The Beatles: Get Back Again promises to be an unforgettable tribute to the power of music, friendship, and cultural revolution. As the release date nears, anticipation is building for what could be the most definitive screen chronicle of The Beatles yet.
