Nearly two years after it was first announced, Fleetwood Mac fans have a release date for Frank Marshall's documentary about the legendary band. Apple TV confirmed that Fleetwood Mac: The Chain will premiere on Friday, January 29, 2027. The film is described as the first fully authorized Fleetwood Mac documentary, directed by Frank Marshall, known for *The Beach Boys* and *From Earth to the Moon*.
Apple TV says the film offers fans "a definitive and unprecedented look" at the band's story, bringing together the voices of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Following their fortuitous meeting in 1974, the members reflect on more than 50 years of history, from record-breaking recordings and tours to today. The documentary includes never-before-seen footage and exclusive new interviews.
The film explores how the band's trials, personal resilience and musical dexterity combined to create songs that have stood the test of time. It also examines what drew the members back together and held them there when pressures inside and outside the band threatened to tear them apart. The group has sold more than 220 million records worldwide.
The documentary joins Apple TV's growing catalog of music documentaries, which already includes *Beastie Boys Story*, *The Velvet Underground*, *Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry*, *Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues* and *Bono: Stories of Surrender*. A full trailer has not yet been released, though Apple TV has shared a short teaser on X. Apple TV is available for $14.99 per month or as part of the Apple One bundle.
