The documentary series The Beatles Anthology, restored by Peter Jackson, arrives on Disney+ on November 26, 2025.

The Beatles Anthology is a British documentary series created by Peter Jackson and produced by Apple Corps. This 9-episode, 60-minute project will air on Disney+ starting November 26, 2025. The program looks back on the careers of Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, with rare archival footage restored in high definition.

Narrated by the Beatles themselves, the series traces the band's beginnings in Liverpool, their meteoric rise in the 1960s, and their lasting influence on global culture. The episodes offer an intimate glimpse into their artistic journey and behind-the-scenes collaboration, thanks to restoration work supervised by Peter Jackson's Park Road Post studio.

The official trailer will be added as soon as it is released by Disney+.

This project is a continuation of the work of Peter Jackson, who previously directed the documentary The Beatles: Get Back in 2021. According to Apple Corps, this new version, enriched with a ninth episode, includes previously unseen footage and sequences remastered from the original negatives. The surviving members of the band were involved in supervising the series.

The tone is historical and immersive, aimed at music lovers, cultural history buffs, and Beatles fans. It emphasizes first-hand accounts and documentary accuracy rather than reenactment.
