The official trailer for #TheBeatlesGetBack is here! The Disney+ original docuseries, directed by
Peter Jackson, will be arriving on Disney+ just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. Made
entirely from never-before-seen, restored footage, it provides the most intimate and honest
glimpse into the creative process and relationship between John, Paul, George, and Ringo ever
filmed. Be sure to check them both out, and don’t forget to watch “The Beatles: Get Back” when
it rolls out over three days, November 25, 26, and 27, 2021, exclusively on Disney+.
Directed by three-time Oscar®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson (“The Lord of the Rings” trilogy,
“They Shall Not Grow Old”), “The Beatles: Get Back” takes audiences back in time to the band’s
January 1969 recording sessions, which became a pivotal moment in music history. The
docuseries showcases The Beatles’ creative process as they attempt to write 14 new songs in
preparation for their first live concert in over two years. Faced with a nearly impossible deadline,
the strong bonds of friendship shared by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and
Ringo Starr are put to the test. The docuseries is compiled from nearly 60 hours of unseen
footage shot over 21 days, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in 1969, and from more than 150
hours of unheard audio, most of which has been locked in a vault for over half a century.
Jackson is the only person in 50 years to have been given access to this Beatles treasure trove,
all of which has now been brilliantly restored. What emerges is an unbelievably intimate portrait
of The Beatles, showing how, with their backs against the wall, they could still rely on their
friendship, good humor, and creative genius. While plans derail and relationships are put to the
test, some of the world’s most iconic songs are composed and performed. The docuseries
features - for the first time in its entirety - The Beatles’ last live performance as a group, the
unforgettable rooftop concert on London’s Savile Row, as well as other songs and classic
compositions featured on the band’s final two albums, Abbey Road and Let It Be.
An exciting new collaboration between The Beatles and Jackson presented by The Walt Disney
Studios in association with Apple Corps Ltd. and WingNut Films Productions Ltd., “The Beatles:
Get Back” is directed by Peter Jackson, produced by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono
Lennon, Olivia Harrison, Peter Jackson, Clare Olssen (“They Shall Not Grow Old”) and

A Star Wars Story”) serves as the film’s editor, the music supervisor is Giles Martin

trilogy) serve as the series re-recording mixers, and the music is mixed by Giles Martin and Sam
