The Rolling Stones have been the heartbeat of rock ’n’ roll for over six decades, shaping not just music, but culture itself. Netflix’s new documentary series, Rolling Through Time: The Untold Story of The Rolling Stones, takes fans deep inside the band’s evolution — from smoky London clubs to sold-out stadiums across the world. For the first time, the surviving members open up about the raw moments that defined them — the highs of fame, the turbulence of addiction, and the brotherhood that endured through it all.
Each episode pulls back the curtain on a different era of the band’s storied career. The early years come alive with rare archival footage of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman creating a sound that would forever change rock history. Interviews with producers, family members, and fellow legends like Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen add emotional layers that even die-hard fans haven’t heard before. It’s a time capsule of rebellion, genius, and the price of immortality.
Netflix’s production captures the Stones’ energy with stunning restoration of old performances and behind-the-scenes moments. Viewers see the madness of the 1960s British Invasion, the controversy that followed their rise, and the resilience that kept the band at the forefront of every generation. What makes the documentary particularly powerful is its honesty — showing the cracks, conflicts, and love that have defined their journey.
In one of the most emotional episodes, Keith Richards reflects on his lifelong partnership with Mick Jagger. “We’ve fought like brothers,” he admits, “but we’ve also created magic together.” These candid conversations make the series more than just a tribute — it’s a confession, a reckoning, and a love letter to the music that made history. The storytelling blends music, memory, and emotion in a way that feels intimate yet monumental.
The documentary doesn’t just celebrate their hits; it dives into the creative chaos behind songs like Gimme Shelter, Angie, and Paint It Black. Viewers witness the band’s experimentation in the studio, the wild tours that became legend, and the losses that nearly broke them. Yet through every dark tunnel, The Rolling Stones emerge with the same defiant spirit that made them unstoppable.
November 13, 2025 — That’s when the world gets to witness it all. Netflix will release Rolling Through Time globally, allowing a new generation to discover how a group of scruffy London musicians became the architects of modern rock. The series will be available in multiple languages, featuring newly unearthed footage and digitally remastered concert performances that haven’t been seen in over 40 years.
Critics who previewed the series have already called it “the most authentic portrait of The Rolling Stones ever made.” It’s not just about fame or fortune — it’s about survival, reinvention, and what it means to never stop rolling. The raw emotion, the laughter, and even the tears make it an unforgettable journey through time.
For fans, Rolling Through Time is more than a documentary; it’s a celebration of legacy. The Rolling Stones aren’t just a band — they’re a movement that refuses to fade away. And with this Netflix series, their story will continue to echo across generations, reminding the world why rock ’n’ roll will always have their name carved at its heart.
