Netflix set to release a documentary about Rock Legend Roy Orbison “We are happy to announce that we are done with production and it will be released on…”

Netflix is proud to announce the completion of production on a powerful new documentary that delves into the life, legacy, and lasting influence of rock legend Roy Orbison. The film, which has been years in the making, will be released on July 19th, 2025, exclusively on Netflix.

Roy Orbison was more than just a voice—he was a force. Known for his unmistakable, operatic vocals and hauntingly emotional ballads, Orbison carved out a place in music history that remains untouched. From early hits like Only the Lonely and Crying to the timeless masterpiece Oh, Pretty Woman, his songs became anthems of heartbreak, longing, and romance. But behind the iconic sunglasses and the smooth, stoic presence was a man whose life was marked by both immense creativity and deep personal tragedy.

This documentary offers an intimate, unfiltered look at Orbison’s journey—from his early days in Texas to the heights of international stardom, through devastating personal losses and an astonishing resurgence in the 1980s. With exclusive interviews from family members, fellow musicians, and close collaborators, as well as previously unseen archival footage, the film captures the essence of who Roy Orbison truly was: a pioneer, a poet, and a profoundly private individual.

The production team worked in close collaboration with the Orbison estate to ensure the film stays true to his story. Narratives are told not just through interviews but also through restored live performances and rare home recordings that transport viewers directly into the world of the “Caruso of Rock.” The film also explores his impact on artists ranging from Elvis Presley and Bruce Springsteen to Bono and k.d. lang, all of whom have cited Orbison as a major influence.

This is not just a biography—it’s a tribute to one of the most distinctive and soulful voices in music history. For lifelong fans and newcomers alike, this documentary is a chance to experience the enduring magic of Roy Orbison in a way that’s never been done before.

Prepare to be moved. On July 19th, Roy Orbison’s story finally gets the cinematic treatment it deserves.
