In what many are calling a monumental moment in music and film history, Netflix has officially released the long-awaited documentary about Sir Paul McCartney, delivering an intimate, emotional, and inspiring look at one of the most legendary figures in modern music.
Titled “McCartney: Yesterday, Today, and Forever”, the documentary is already generating global buzz as fans flock to the streaming platform to witness the untold story of the man who helped shape a generation and transform pop culture forever. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (known for 20 Feet from Stardom and Won’t You Be My Neighbor?), the film explores McCartney’s journey from Liverpool’s working-class neighborhoods to global superstardom with The Beatles, and beyond into his successful solo career and Wings era.
The project, which has been in the works for nearly a decade, features never-before-seen archival footage, rare behind-the-scenes moments, and deeply personal interviews with McCartney himself, as well as close friends, family, and collaborators including Ringo Starr, Elton John, Dave Grohl, and Taylor Swift.
What sets this documentary apart is its emotional depth. McCartney reflects candidly on fame, loss, love, creativity, and aging. From the heights of Beatlemania to the sorrow of losing John Lennon and George Harrison, the documentary doesn’t shy away from the emotional highs and lows that have shaped his life and music.
“I’ve lived quite a life,” McCartney says in the opening scene, “but I’ve never stopped being that kid who just wanted to play music.”
Netflix has rolled out the documentary in over 190 countries, complete with multilingual subtitles, ensuring fans around the world can experience McCartney’s story. The accompanying soundtrack—featuring remastered classics and unreleased gems—has also been made available on Spotify and Apple Music.
As tributes pour in from fans and celebrities alike, “McCartney: Yesterday, Today, and Forever” is already being hailed as a timeless celebration of artistic brilliance, humility, and the enduring power of music.
