Netflix Set to Release Documentary on the Legendary Career of Frankie Valli
Netflix has officially wrapped production on a brand-new documentary that delves into the iconic career of legendary singer Frankie Valli. Titled “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You: The Frankie Valli Story,” the documentary is scheduled for release on November 20, 2025, and promises to be a must-watch for fans of classic pop, rock ‘n’ roll, and music history enthusiasts alike.
Frankie Valli, the unmistakable falsetto behind The Four Seasons, has long been a towering figure in American music. With a career spanning over six decades, Valli’s voice helped define a generation. From chart-toppers like “Sherry” and “Walk Like a Man,” to his solo hits like “My Eyes Adored You,” the story of Valli’s life is as riveting as the music he created.
Netflix’s documentary offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look into Valli’s life, both on and off the stage. Directed by Emmy Award-winner Lisa Johnson, the film combines rare archival footage, personal interviews, and never-before-seen performances. It paints a vivid portrait of a man who rose from humble beginnings in Newark, New Jersey, to become one of America’s most beloved voices.
“We are happy to announce that we are done with production and it will be released on November 20, 2025,” Netflix said in an official statement. “This project has been a labor of love, and we’re honored to tell the story of such a phenomenal talent and enduring cultural icon.”
The documentary also explores the trials Valli faced along the way—from personal tragedies and shifting musical landscapes to the internal dynamics of The Four Seasons and his later resurgence thanks to Jersey Boys, the Tony-winning Broadway musical based on his life.
Fans can expect interviews from an impressive array of artists and collaborators, including Bob Gaudio, the songwriting genius behind many of The Four Seasons’ hits, as well as commentary from Bruce Springsteen, Barry Manilow, Olivia Rodrigo, and Lin-Manuel Miranda, who all speak to Valli’s enduring influence.
One of the highlights of the film is a rare glimpse into the recording sessions of some of Valli’s biggest hits. These moments not only showcase his vocal brilliance but also his commitment to musical perfection—a quality that has set him apart for decades.
The film also doesn’t shy away from the human side of fame. Viewers will witness Valli’s personal struggles, including the heartbreaking loss of his daughter and the toll of endless touring. These emotional revelations offer a deeper understanding of the man behind the microphone.
With stylish direction and a carefully curated soundtrack of hits, deep cuts, and remastered classics, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” offers a celebration of Valli’s resilience, talent, and evolution as an artist. It’s not just a tribute; it’s a journey through American pop culture.
Netflix aims to introduce Frankie Valli’s legacy to a new generation while giving longtime fans the in-depth documentary they’ve long awaited. With stunning visuals, crisp sound engineering, and heartfelt storytelling, it stands as a definitive portrait of an American original.
In addition to its global streaming release, the documentary will have a limited theatrical run in select cities, accompanied by Q&A panels featuring the filmmakers and special guests. Netflix also plans to host a red-carpet premiere event in Los Angeles on November 15, 2025.
Whether you’ve been a fan since the 1960s or are discovering Frankie Valli for the first time, this documentary promises to leave you singing, inspired, and perhaps even a little teary-eyed. Mark your calendars—“Can’t Take My Eyes Off You: The Frankie Valli Story” hits Netflix on November 20, 2025.
