Netflix has announced that it is currently in production on a documentary series about Robbie Williams, which is set to debut on the platform in 2023.<\/p>\n

The streamer made the announcement at the Edinburgh TV Festival 2022, with the series being called \u201can unfiltered, in-depth examination of a global icon and natural-born-entertainer who had to navigate the highs and lows of being in the limelight for more than 30 years\u201d.<\/p>\n

Netflix<\/a> has said that the series, which will feature a currently unknown number of episodes, will \u201ccover Robbie navigating media scrutiny throughout his career, adulation and addiction, professional and personal break-ups, reunions, recovery, and the impact they have had on his mental health\u201d.<\/p>\n

The series will be composed of never-before-seen archive footage shot over a period of 25 years, and has been called a \u201cno-holds-barred\u201d look at Williams\u2019 life.<\/p>\n

The series comes from director Joe Pearlman, who previously made the BAFTA-winning documentary Bros: After the Screaming Stops; executive producer Asif Kapadia, who made the Oscar-winning documentary Amy; and is produced by RSA, which is part of the Ridley Scott Creative Group.<\/p>\n

As part of the Edinburgh TV Festival panel where the series was announced, Netflix\u2019s manager of original documentary series Nelesh Dhand said that Williams is at a point in his career \u201cwhere he\u2019s really willing to sit back [and] reflect on what has been an insane journey in the eye of the British public\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added that Williams is \u201creally willing to go there to talk about not just his music, his success, his fame, but also his addictions and his battles with mental health\u201d.<\/p>

Williams initially grew to prominence as a member of Take That, before going on to a solo career which saw him achieve seven UK number one singles and 11 UK number one albums.<\/p>\n
