Recent buzz about a forthcoming Netflix documentary on nu-metal pioneers Korn has stirred excitement among fans. However, despite widespread speculation and social media chatter, there is no official confirmation from either Netflix or the band regarding such a project.
The rumors gained traction following a social media post on April 1, 2025, which claimed that a three-part documentary series about Korn was in development at Netflix, slated for a 2026 release. This announcement, originating from a fan-run account, included a mock trailer and playful interactions hinting at its April Fools’ Day nature. Despite the humorous undertones, the post was widely shared and led many to believe the documentary was genuine .
Further fueling the speculation, various fan pages and music-themed social media accounts echoed the claim, stating that a documentary titled “Korn” was officially in the works and set for a 2026 release . However, reputable sources like Netflix Junkie have clarified that these reports are unverified, emphasizing the absence of any official announcements from the streaming giant or the band itself. The publication noted, “Hold those devil horns at half-mast… the much-whispered-about Korn documentary remains firmly in speculation territory” .
While the prospect of a dedicated Korn documentary remains uncertain, fans can still explore the band’s history through existing content. Notably, frontman Jonathan Davis appeared in Netflix’s 2022 docuseries “Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99,” which delves into the chaotic events of the infamous music festival where Korn performed .
In the absence of an official Korn documentary, enthusiasts are encouraged to revisit the band’s extensive discography and past documentaries, such as “Got The Life – The Korn Story,” available on YouTube. Until formal confirmation emerges, the rumored Netflix series remains a topic of speculation within the nu-metal community.
