Netflix has officially announced “Till the Song Ends: The James Hetfield Story”, a six-part limited documentary series that delves deep into the life, music, and legacy of James Hetfield, the legendary frontman of Metallica. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger, known for his powerful storytelling in Metallica: Some Kind of Monster and Paradise Lost, the series promises an unfiltered and intimate exploration of Hetfield’s journey from a shy California kid to one of rock’s most commanding and influential figures.
Through rare archival footage, exclusive interviews, and never-before-seen performances, the series captures the raw emotion, personal struggles, and creative triumphs that have defined Hetfield’s career. Friends, bandmates, and fellow artists share insight into the man behind the microphone — his battles with addiction, his evolution as a songwriter, and his enduring devotion to his craft and family.
“Till the Song Ends” celebrates not only Hetfield’s monumental impact on heavy metal but also his resilience and humanity. Set against the thunderous soundtrack of Metallica’s greatest anthems, it paints a portrait of an artist who continues to shape the sound and soul of modern rock — a life lived loud, until the song truly ends.
