Netflix to Release Documentary on Legendary Rock Band Badfinger

Netflix has announced plans to release a new documentary chronicling the rise, success, and tragedy of Badfinger, the British rock band once heralded as the heirs to The Beatles. Known for their melodic songwriting and tumultuous history, Badfinger played a key role in shaping the sound of the early 1970s power pop movement.

The upcoming documentary, titled Badfinger: Lost and Found, will delve into the band’s formation, their discovery and signing to The Beatles’ Apple Records, and their enduring hits such as “Come and Get It,” “Day After Day,” and “No Matter What.” It will also explore the darker side of their story, including financial mismanagement, label disputes, and the tragic suicides of founding members Pete Ham and Tom Evans.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker [Director’s Name – to be confirmed], the documentary features rare archival footage, unreleased recordings, and new interviews with surviving band members, family members, music historians, and notable figures from the industry.

Netflix has positioned Badfinger: Lost and Found as part of its growing commitment to music documentaries, following the success of recent titles spotlighting legends such as Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and David Bowie. The platform aims to shed new light on influential artists who may not have received the recognition they deserved in mainstream history.

Though an exact release date has not been confirmed, the film is expected to premiere globally on Netflix later this year.

With its mix of musical brilliance and heartbreaking loss, the Badfinger documentary promises to offer both longtime fans and new audiences a compelling look at one of rock music’s most poignant legacies.
