As of April 5, 2025, there has been no official announcement from Netflix regarding the release of a documentary about Motörhead or its iconic frontman, Lemmy Kilmister. Fans of the legendary heavy metal band may recall the 2010 documentary titled “Lemmy,” directed by Greg Olliver and Wes Orshoski, which delved into Kilmister’s life and career. This film featured interviews with notable artists and provided an in-depth look at Lemmy’s influence on the music industry.
In recent years, there have been discussions about a biopic focusing on Lemmy Kilmister’s life. Reports from 2020 indicated that director Greg Olliver was set to helm the project, with plans to commence filming in 2021. The biopic aimed to explore Lemmy’s journey from his early days as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix to his tenure with Hawkwind, and ultimately, his formation of Motörhead.
However, there have been no further updates on the progress or release date of this biopic. It’s also noteworthy that while the 2010 documentary “Lemmy” was previously available for streaming on platforms like Netflix, its availability has varied over time and by region. For instance, it was reported that the documentary was streaming on Netflix US around 2016, but it has since been removed from certain regional libraries.
Fans interested in watching “Lemmy” may need to check multiple streaming platforms or consider purchasing physical copies, as its online availability remains inconsistent. Additionally, while Netflix has produced music-related content in the past, such as “The Dirt,” a biopic about Mötley Crüe, there is currently no information indicating a similar project for Motörhead.
In summary, despite previous documentaries and discussions of a biopic, there is no confirmed release date for a new Motörhead documentary on Netflix as of this time. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to official channels for any future announcements regarding such projects.
