Production Type: Limited Series
The Beatles: Get Back is a standalone Limited Series that concluded its 3-episode run in November 2021. Directed by Peter Jackson, the production was a massive undertaking that involved restoring over 60 hours of film footage and 150 hours of audio recorded in January 1969. Originally envisioned as a theatrical release, the project expanded into a three-part event to accommodate the wealth of intimate material showcasing the band's creative process. The scale of the restoration utilized cutting-edge audio de-mixing technology to provide clarity to conversations that were previously unintelligible.
This documentary event was designed with a definitive conclusion centered on the band's final live performance on the roof of Apple Corps headquarters. Because the series acts as a historical deep dive into a specific twenty-one day period, the narrative arc is inherently finite. The production serves as a comprehensive record of the sessions that produced the Let It Be album, leaving no room for a continuation as the subject matter is chronologically and contextually complete.
Both offer an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at how visionary creators craft legendary pop-culture milestones.
Both offer immersive, meticulously crafted historical deep dives into intense, high-stakes collaborative human experiences.
Both series masterfully document intimate, legendary bonds through deep, immersive historical storytelling.
