Netflix Drops First Look at ‘Take That’ Docuseries, Promising “Deeply Personal” Story of U.K. Boyband
The three-part limited series, arriving Jan. 27, will feature 35 years of rare archive and new interviews with members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen.
“Nothing beats being in a band,” says Gary Barlow in a new clip from Netflix‘s Take That docuseries.
The streaming giant has released a first-look clip — showing the band backstage ahead of a gig in the ’90s — and images from its three-part limited series, set to drop Jan. 27.
In Take That, viewers are taken behind the scenes with members Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Jason Orange, and Robbie Williams as they reveal their personal experiences in a band that captivated millions of fans, playing sold-out shows, topping the charts with 12 huge U.K. No. 1 hit singles and selling over 45 million records worldwide.
Featuring 35 years of rare archive, never-before-seen footage and personal material, as well as brand new interviews with Barlow, Donald and Owen, the series promises to offer an “intimate look at the highs, the heartbreaks, and the enduring legacy of one of the U.K.’s most successful bands of all time.”

“From their early beginnings as [a] five piece formed in Manchester to becoming pop superstars, relive the camaraderie, chaos, and resilience that fueled their meteoric rise, dramatic split, and one of the greatest comebacks in British music history,” says a plot synopsis. “Told in their own words, this is the deeply personal and definitive story of Take That.”
Produced by Fullwell Entertainment, Take That is directed by David Soutar (Bros: After the Screaming Stops, Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All) and is executive produced by Gabe Turner.
