The Disney+ original docuseries, directed by Peter Jackson, will be arriving on Disney+ just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. Made entirely from never-before-seen, restored footage, it provides the most intimate and honest glimpse into the creative process and relationship between John, Paul, George, and Ringo ever filmed. Be sure to check them both out, and don’t forget to watch “The Beatles: Get Back” when it rolls out over three days, November 25, 26, and 27, 2021, exclusively on Disney+.
Directed by three-time Oscar®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson (“The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, “They Shall Not Grow Old”), “The Beatles: Get Back” takes audiences back in time to the band’s January 1969 recording sessions, which became a pivotal moment in music history. The docuseries showcases The Beatles’ creative process as they attempt to write 14 new songs in preparation for their first live concert in over two years. Faced with a nearly impossible deadline, the strong bonds of friendship shared by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr are put to the test. The docuseries is compiled from nearly 60 hours of unseen footage shot over 21 days, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in 1969, and from more than 150 hours of unheard audio, most of which has been locked in a vault for over half a century. Jackson is the only person in 50 years to have been given access to this Beatles treasure trove, all of which has now been brilliantly restored. What emerges is an unbelievably intimate portrait of The Beatles, showing how, with their backs against the wall, they could still rely on their friendship, good humor, and creative genius. While plans derail and relationships are put to the test, some of the world’s most iconic songs are composed and performed. The docuseries features – for the first time in its entirety – The Beatles’ last live performance as a group, the unforgettable rooftop concert on London’s Savile Row, as well as other songs and classic compositions featured on the band’s final two albums, Abbey Road and Let It Be.
An exciting new collaboration between The Beatles and Jackson presented by The Walt Disney Studios in association with Apple Corps Ltd. and WingNut Films Productions Ltd., “The Beatles: Get Back” is directed by Peter Jackson, produced by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon, Olivia Harrison, Peter Jackson, Clare Olssen (“They Shall Not Grow Old”) and Jonathan Clyde (“Eight Days a Week”), with Apple Corps’ Jeff Jones (“Eight Days a Week”) and Ken Kamins (“The Hobbit” trilogy) serving as executive producers. Jabez Olssen (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”) serves as the film’s editor, the music supervisor is Giles Martin (“Rocketman”), Michael Hedges (“The Adventures of Tintin”) and Brent Burge (“The Hobbit” trilogy) serve as the series re-recording mixers, and the music is mixed by Giles Martin and Sam Okell (“Yesterday”).

I'm literally screaming in mind " attracts me like no other lover " like I'm gonna fly in a time machine and give them the missing lyrics ..feels surreal
-
Ringo just hits the groove straight away on all their compositions, it really shows what an indispensable legend he is.
-
Now I understand the meaning of the "I don't know" as the climax of the chorus. It's all about George not having a clue as to what lyrics he should use for this melody! Truly fascinating!
-
Every song Ringo is like "i got my part down so whenever you guys want to get your stuff together lmk"
-
The final version was a masterpiece.
-
The missing chromatic riff after the second " I don't know " is already there rhythmically with Ringo's fill. Amazing to see the combined brilliance of this band
-
Nothing short of brilliant here. Love how both John and Paul realize that George has just unveiled one of the greatest love songs ever written.
-
I still cannot believe we got to witness these legendary moments through Get Back. Cannot thank Peter enough for this documentary and the Beatles for just existing. 🙌🏼😭
-
Ringo’s drumming was really the soul of every Beatles song. He knows when he needs to roll or just play the beat.
-
Lennon instinctively knew the line should end on an er sound "cauliflower" which later became "no other lover", which is why he later corrected George's "pomegranate" with "cauliflower".
-
linda looks so adorable when she’s changing the roll of her camera
-
The albatross around John's neck sitting next to him wondering, "When are they gonna ask me to scream again? During the verse or chorus?"
-
It’s so odd seeing one of the best songs being made!
-
What a gift to see the process behind genius.
-
George and John's guitar strumming at 00:27 is hypnotically soothing. I could listen to this part for hours.
-
The way Paul and John just remained silent and listening to George singing, the way John stares at him... this is the birth of one of the greatest songs ever written. And they knew it and they seemed to be overwhelmed by the power of their greatness. Legendary!
-
Look at John watching intently like he knows George is really onto (no pun intended) something. This was George's finest hour and it lasted even after the band split
-
I will always be grateful to Peter Jackson for having corrected this long-standing perpetuated myth that this was one of the darkest episodes of the Beatles legacy. Instead, it a glorious story of redemption by 4 truly remarkably talented men who genuinely loved each other. Jackson let the movie speak for itself and what you witness is an unsurmountable pressure they put upon themselves, and yet they emerged with some of the greatest songs ever created. The movie truly humanizes them and shows the staggering amount of work put into creating their magic. Along the way you get to know John, Paul, George and Ringo like never before as 4 completely natural and genuinely nice people. My respect for them only grew from this movie. I’m sadden that this has been hidden for this long and we have lost so many of them – Linda, Maureen, Billy, George Martin, Mal Evans and of course George and John. Thank you Peter for doing this.
-
I LOOOOVE how John is looking at George and you can see him realizing what a great song is about to be birthed in that room.

Fun Fact: you'll notice Linda with a camera in many of these clips. She was the first female photographer to have a picture used on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine (Eric Clapton - May 11, 1968)
