Fleetwood Mac is getting an official documentary from Apple TV+ and Frank Marshall

The “Rumours” are true: Apple TV+ is making a Fleetwood Mac documentary.

The streaming service’s Apple Original Films unit announced Tuesday that director Frank Marshall is making a fully-authorized documentary in which the members of the iconic rock band will tell their story in their own words for the first time ever. The film will feature previously unseen footage, exclusive new interviews, and archival interviews with the late Christine McVie.

“I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about,” Marshall said in a statement. “Fleetwood Mac somehow managed to merge their often chaotic and almost operatic personal lives into their own tale in real time, which then became legend. This will be a film about the music and the people who created it.”

Fleetwood Mac became one of the world’s biggest bands in the 1970s on the strength of era-defining songs like “Landslide,” “Dreams,” and “Go Your Own Way,” amidst extraordinary personal conflict involving ego clashes, drug addiction, and affairs between the band’s peak-era members Mick Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, and John McVie. “The documentary will explore what allowed this combination of artists to create singular musical work again and again, and what drew them back together and held them there when every possible pressure, both outside and inside the band, threatened to blow them apart,” according to the release.

Fleetwood Mac has sold more than 220 million records, won a Grammy for Album of the Year (“Rumours”), and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. They broke up for the last time in 2022, following the death of Christine McVie.

Frank Marshall is a five-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker and Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Oscar recipient. Previous music documentaries he’s directed include “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” “Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story,” and “The Beach Boys.” In addition to directing the film, he also produces for the the Kennedy/Marshall Company.
