Netflix Announces Release Date for New Order Documentary
Netflix has confirmed that its highly anticipated documentary on the legendary synth-pop band New Order will premiere on November 15, 2025. This film promises to delve into the band’s evolution from their post-punk origins to their status as pioneers of electronic music in the 1980s.
Emerging from the ashes of Joy Division following Ian Curtis’s tragic death in 1980, New Order—comprising Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Hague, and later, Gillian Gilbert—redefined the music scene with hits like “Blue Monday” and “Bizarre Love Triangle.” Their innovative fusion of electronic beats and guitar-driven melodies not only shaped the sound of the 1980s but also influenced generations of musicians.
The documentary offers an intimate look into the band’s journey, featuring rare interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and insights into their creative process. It also addresses internal conflicts, including the departure of bassist Peter Hook, providing a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics that shaped their music and legacy.
Music critics have hailed the documentary as a “must-watch,” anticipating that it will shed light on the untold stories of one of the most influential bands in music history. With Netflix’s reputation for producing compelling music documentaries, this film is expected to be a significant addition to their lineup.
Subscribers can look forward to streaming the documentary exclusively on Netflix starting November
15, 2025.
