Netflix Set to Release Documentary on Legendary Musician Joan Jett and The Blackhearts

Netflix is preparing to spotlight one of rock music’s most influential figures with an upcoming documentary centered on the life and career of Joan Jett. The film, which promises to chronicle Jett’s trailblazing journey from punk rebel to rock icon, is expected to premiere on the streaming platform later this year.

Known for her gritty voice, fearless attitude, and groundbreaking role as a woman in the male-dominated world of rock ‘n’ roll, Joan Jett rose to fame as the frontwoman of Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. Her anthem “I Love Rock ‘n Roll” became a cultural phenomenon in the early 1980s and remains one of the most enduring songs of its era. Before that, she helped pave the way for female rockers as a founding member of the all-female teenage rock band The Runaways.

The Netflix documentary will feature exclusive interviews with Jett, archival footage from her early days with The Runaways, and behind-the-scenes looks at her rise to superstardom. It is expected to delve into her influence on punk rock, her activism, and her continued relevance in today’s music scene. Longtime fans and new listeners alike will get a closer look at the personal and professional battles Jett has faced in her decades-long career.

Netflix has not yet revealed the documentary’s official title or release date, but early buzz suggests it will be one of the year’s most compelling music documentaries.
