A new version of The Beatles Anthology is now available, giving fans a closer look at the band’s life beyond the fame. The ninth episode, released on Disney+, explores the personal stories of the Beatles rather than just their history.
The original documentary, first shown in 1995, followed the Beatles from their early days in Liverpool and Hamburg clubs to their worldwide fame and breakup in 1970. This new episode goes deeper, focusing on what it was like to be a member of the band.
Director Oliver Murray said the episode shows the band members’ own reflections and experiences. The team used modern technology to restore old footage, including clips that had never been seen before. The work was done with Apple Corps and Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post, making the images and sound clearer than ever.
The episode gives fans a chance to see Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr talking about their memories, struggles, and how they worked together. It shows that behind the music and fame, they were real people with dreams, worries, and tensions.
This release follows the success of Peter Jackson’s The Beatles: Get Back, which also helped fans see the band as normal young men, not just legends. The new Anthology continues this approach, giving viewers an honest and personal view of the band’s story.
For Beatles fans, this episode is more than a look back. It offers a chance to understand the band’s journey, their friendship, and the hard work behind their music. Oliver Murray described the Beatles’ story as “20th-century folklore” that still inspires people today.
The extended Anthology invites fans to rediscover the Beatles in a new way. It reminds viewers of the people behind the music and shows that the story of the band is as interesting as their songs.
