Netflix Announces New Music Documentary Focused on Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx

The Chaos, The Glory, The Truth: Netflix Dives Deep into Rock’s Wildest Duo

In a move that’s already sending shockwaves through the rock world, Netflix has officially greenlit a raw and revealing documentary spotlighting two of heavy metal’s most notorious figures: Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx. Known for their outrageous antics, brutal honesty, and chart-dominating careers with Mötley Crüe, the pair will finally tell their untamed story—in their own words.

Slated for release in the coming months, the film promises to peel back the layers of sex, drugs, and stadium tours that shaped one of the most dangerous and influential bands in rock history. But this isn’t just a highlight reel of wild parties and iconic riffs. According to insiders, the documentary will offer a deeply personal look at the trauma, triumphs, and lifelong brotherhood that bonded Lee and Sixx amid the chaos of fame

Tommy Lee, the wildman drummer whose stage antics and personal life have often made headlines, will reflect on the highs and lows—from sold-out tours to jail time, addiction, and eventual redemption. Nikki Sixx, the band’s chief songwriter and bassist, brings his own harrowing stories to the table: near-death overdoses, artistic evolution, and becoming a symbol of survival in the music industry.

“This is about legacy, truth, and telling it like it really was,” one producer commented. “There are no filters on this one. Just pure rock and raw life.”

While Mötley Crüe’s story has previously been glamorized in 2019’s The Dirt, this documentary reportedly dives much deeper, focusing specifically on the emotional and creative journey of its two core members. Fans can expect never-before-seen footage, behind-the-scenes stories, and brutally honest interviews that paint a fuller picture of what it meant to live life at 100 mph—with no seatbelt.

With Netflix’s track record of powerful music documentaries (The Defiant Ones, Miss Americana, The Greatest Night in Pop), expectations are sky-high. And judging by early reactions, this one’s shaping up to be a must-watch for die-hard Crüe fans and curious newcomers alike.

The first teaser is expected to drop later this year, with the full release slated to follow shortly after.
