In a historic announcement, Netflix has unveiled a new documentary event that’s sending shockwaves through the music world: “Elvis Unheard: The Lost Tracks of the King.” Set for release in Spring 2026, the documentary will spotlight 10 never-before-released songs recorded by Elvis Presley in the final years of his life — tracks believed to have been locked away in private archives since his death in 1977.
For decades, fans and historians alike have speculated about unreleased material Elvis may have left behind. Now, Netflix — in collaboration with the Presley estate and RCA Records — is bringing these forgotten treasures to the world for the very first time. The documentary dives deep into the stories behind the recordings, exploring what they reveal about Elvis’s state of mind, creative evolution, and emotional landscape in his final days.
Directed by Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?), the film includes rare footage from Graceland’s private vault, handwritten lyric sheets, and intimate studio reels. Each episode will focus on one of the unreleased songs, featuring commentary from music legends, Presley’s former bandmates, family members, and celebrity fans like Bruce Springsteen and Adele.
Among the titles teased are “Midnight Rider’s Prayer,” “Letters Never Sent,” and “Graceland Lament” — ballads said to reflect Presley’s inner struggles, nostalgia, and longing for peace.
Netflix says the project aims not only to reintroduce Elvis to a new generation but also to humanize him beyond the glitter and fame. “This isn’t about the legend — it’s about the man behind the myth,” the trailer promises.
The 10-song compilation will also be released as an exclusive vinyl and digital album, with limited-edition covers designed in collaboration with contemporary artists.
“Elvis Unheard” premieres April 2026, streaming globally only on Netflix — a rare chance to hear The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll like never before.
