Hunting Gary Glitter: The Decline of a Star will premiere on Netflix on October 14, 2026. This British documentary series charts the rise and fall of the singer through the testimonies of victims, journalists, and experts on the justice system.
Having become a major figure in Britain's glam-rock scene in the 1970s, Gary Glitter long benefited from the spotlight, the money and the influence that came with his fame. The documentary explores how that platform enabled him to commit and conceal sexual abuse of children for decades.
The investigation doesn’t stop at the artist’s story. It also examines the people who collected the victims’ testimony, the legal procedures opened in several countries, and the role of the press in the gradual disclosure of the facts.
Hunting Gary Glitter: The Decline of a Star will be available on Netflix on October 14, 2026.
