Netflix and Warner Music Group (WMG) have announced an exclusive multi-year partnership to develop non-fiction docu-series and full-length films centred on the lives, music, and legacies of the record label’s roster that spans legendary names and rising acts.
Announced on Mar. 20, 2026, the deal comes on the back of growing popularity with music documentaries, from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour film grossing millions in theaters worldwide to Netflix’s Homecoming: A Film By Beyoncé becoming the fourth most-watched documentary on the platform when it came out in 2019.
Under the arrangement, Warner Music Group will work alongside Unigram — a production outfit helmed by Amanda Ghost and Gregor Cameron — to serve as the dedicated production arm for the label’s long-form programming. Each project will be developed in close collaboration with the artist in question, or their estate, ensuring the storytelling remains personal and of course, officially blessed.
Warner Music Group CEO Robert Kyncl said in a statement, “The combination of Warner Music Group’s IP with Netflix’s global reach is an incredible opportunity to introduce new fans to our artists and songwriters all around the world.”
Netflix’s documentary films & series vice president Adam Del Deo added in his statement, “We’ve seen how music inspires incredible fandom on Netflix so we’re excited to partner with Warner Music Group and the best-in-class artists they work with to bring even more indelible music storytelling to our members.”
