Get Back

The Walt Disney Studios, Apple Corps Ltd and WingNut Films Productions Ltd announced today that Disney+ will bring “The Beatles : Get Back”, a Disney+ original documentary series directed by Peter Jackson, to fans and music lovers worldwide.

Because of the wealth of tremendous footage Peter Jackson has reviewed, which he has spent the past 3 years restoring and editing, “The Beatles : Get Back” will be presented as 3 separate episodes. Each episode is approximately 2 hours in length, rolling out over 3 days, November 25th, 26th and 27th, 2021, exclusively on Disney+.

“As a huge Beatles fan myself, I am absolutely thrilled that Disney+ will be the home for this extraordinary documentary series by the legendary filmmaker Peter Jackson”, said Bob Iger, executive chairman and chairman of the board, The Walt Disney Company. “This phenomenal collection of never before seen footage offers an unprecedented look at the close camaraderie, genius songwriting, and indelible impact of one of the most iconic and culturally influential bands of all time, and we can’t wait to share 'The Beatles : Get Back' with fans around the world”.

Peter Jackson commented, “In many respects, Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s remarkable footage captured multiple storylines. The story of friends and of individuals. It is the story of human frailties and of a divine partnership. It is a detailed account of the creative process, with the crafting of iconic songs under pressure, set amid the social climate of early 1969. But it’s not nostalgia, it’s raw, honest, and human. Over 6 hours, you’ll get to know The Beatles with an intimacy that you never thought possible”.

He added, “I’m very grateful to The Beatles, Apple Corps and Disney for allowing me to present this story in exactly the way it should be told. I’ve been immersed in this project for nearly 3 years, and I’m very excited that audiences around the world will finally be able to see it”.
