Netflix Set to Release Documentary on Legendary Music Icon Carole King

Netflix is gearing up to release a brand-new documentary spotlighting the life and career of legendary singer-songwriter Carole King. The streaming giant announced the upcoming feature as part of its expanding slate of music-focused documentaries, aiming to celebrate the enduring legacy of one of the most influential figures in American music history.

Carole King, whose career spans over six decades, rose to fame in the 1960s as a songwriter alongside her then-husband Gerry Goffin. Together, they penned dozens of hits that shaped the sound of an era, including “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” by The Shirelles and “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” for Aretha Franklin. Her 1971 solo album Tapestry remains one of the best-selling albums of all time and is widely regarded as a seminal work in pop and soft rock.

The upcoming documentary, which is currently untitled, promises never-before-seen archival footage, intimate interviews, and a deep dive into King’s songwriting process, personal life, and activism. It will also feature testimonials from fellow musicians, producers, and collaborators who have worked with or been inspired by her.

This project marks another step in Netflix’s continued investment in music-centered content, following the success of recent documentaries on artists such as Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Lewis Capaldi.

No official release date has been confirmed yet, but the documentary is expected to debut in October 2025. For fans of Carole King and music history alike, the film promises an insightful look at a trailblazing artist whose work has left an indelible mark on generations of listeners.
