Netflix has officially wrapped up production on a new documentary chronicling the explosive rise, wild years, and enduring legacy of the iconic British rock band Whitesnake. In a statement released by the streaming giant, they confirmed: “We are happy to announce that we are done with production and it will be released on July 18, 2025.” Fans of classic rock, ‘80s glam metal, and music history are already marking their calendars.
The documentary, titled “Whitesnake: Here They Go Again,” promises an unfiltered look into the band’s tumultuous yet trailblazing journey. Viewers will get rare behind-the-scenes footage, unreleased interviews, and exclusive commentary from founder and frontman David Coverdale. The film dives deep into the formation of the band in 1978, the post-Deep Purple era, and how Whitesnake carved out its own sound in a crowded rock landscape.
Netflix producers worked closely with the band and longtime collaborators to ensure accuracy and authenticity. “It’s not just about the music,” said executive producer Lila Ramirez. “It’s about the pressure, the excess, the breakups, and the comebacks. Whitesnake’s story is one of grit and glory, and we wanted to capture all of it.” This documentary will also highlight the band’s global hits like “Here I Go Again,” “Is This Love,” and “Still of the Night.”
The film also revisits the band’s infamous MTV dominance in the late ‘80s, especially the legendary video featuring Tawny Kitaen. Interviews with former band members, producers, and music critics will break down the significance of that era and how Whitesnake helped shape the golden age of hard rock videos.
David Coverdale, now 73, was deeply involved in the storytelling process. “I’ve told bits of the story here and there over the years,” he said in a teaser clip. “But this time, it’s all of it. The highs, the lows, the wild tours, the brotherhood, the losses—we’re laying it all bare.” Fans will get a rare glimpse into Coverdale’s personal reflections and the price of rock stardom.
The documentary will also explore the band’s multiple lineups, including key players like John Sykes, Adrian Vandenberg, and Tommy Aldridge, and their impact on the group’s evolution. Music historians will weigh in on how Whitesnake transitioned from bluesy hard rock to full-on arena metal and became a household name in America.
Netflix is planning a global release, with subtitles in over 20 languages, signaling the band’s international influence. The trailer will drop in late May, with several promotional clips set to appear across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts—targeting a younger audience curious about the legends of the past.
“Whitesnake: Here They Go Again” is more than nostalgia—it’s a powerful reminder of rock music’s ability to break barriers and shake the world. Whether you lived through the hair metal era or just discovered the band on Spotify, this documentary is set to be a thunderous celebration of a band that truly rocked the world.
