Fleetwood Mac will have their story told in an upcoming documentary.
Apple TV+ is joining forces with The Kennedy/Marshall Company and White Horse Pictures and director Frank Marshall for a “fully authorized” documentary on the legendary British-American rock band, the streamer announced on Tuesday, Nov. 19.
“I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about,” Marshall in a press release. “Fleetwood Mac somehow managed to merge their often chaotic and almost operatic personal lives into their own tale in real-time, which then became legend. This will be a film about the music and the people who created it.”
Marshall, along with his wife Kathleen Kennedy, received the Irving G. Thalberg Award ahead of the 2019 Oscars. In recent years, he has turned to directing music documentaries, including the Grammy-winning Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story and the Emmy-nominated The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart. His most recent film is Disney+’s The Beach Boys.
“We are thrilled to continue our creative partnership with Frank and the talented team at Kennedy/Marshall,” producer Nicholas Ferrall said Tuesday.

It will be the first time the Grammy Award-winning Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees will give an account of their career in their own words. The band’s most famous lineup featured Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie (who died in November 2022), Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer and Bob Welch were also members at different points in the band’s history.

“Fleetwood Mac are a musical phenomenon, their alchemy almost beyond comprehension. White Horse is grateful and humbled by the extraordinary opportunity to produce a documentary that dives deep into the talents of each band member individually and the magic that is Fleetwood Mac as a whole. And to do this with the support and reach of Apple is quite wonderful,” Ferrall continued.

The documentary will take a look at the band’s “uncompromising 50-plus-year history, from their record-breaking recordings and tours — including never-before-seen footage, exclusive new interviews, and archival interviews of the late Christine McVie — through to today,” the release adds.
Fans can expect to experience an emotional ride as they learn new facts about the group, which has “sold more than 220 million records worldwide.”
Fleetwood Mac shared a message of their own on Tuesday.
