Take That will star in new Netflix documentaries produced by James Corden.
The musical biopic for the streaming giant will chart the extraordinary rise of the Nineties boy band, delving into the group’s archives to reveal never-before-seen footage from their early days.
The show will offer an inside look at the highs and lows of the Back For Good singers, featuring exclusive interviews with band members Gary Barlow, Robbie Williams, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Jason Orange. It is expected to premiere on Netflix in 2025.
It follows the four-part 2023 series about Robbie Williams, 50, which saw the pop star chronicle his own life in a series of interviews charting his teenage stardom, his drug use and his war with the media.
Take That originally formed as a five-piece band in 1989 and went on to become one of the most successful bands in British history, with a career spanning four decades.

The band sold over 45 million albums worldwide and played live to over 5.3 million people in the UK and Ireland.
Netflix has also commissioned a documentary about the career of Australian pop singer Kylie, 56, which is expected to be announced at this week’s Edinburgh Television Festival.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Take That and Kylie Minogue for comment.
The streaming giant has been successful in terms of viewership with a steady stream of music-based documentaries.
Last year, Netflix’s Wham!, which follows Andrew Ridgeley and George Michael’s band at the height of their fame, was nominated for a Bafta award.
The new documentary will be produced by Fulwell 73, owned by James Corden, 45, and his long-time business partner Ben Winston, 42.
It is not the first time the pair have worked with Take That frontman Gary Barlow, 53.
In 2014, they produced a documentary for the BBC called When Corden Met Barlow, and in recent years they have made several music videos featuring Barlow.

Corden and the Take That frontman have become such good friends over the past few years that Barlow asked the Gavin & Stacey star to do a duet with him.
The pair joined forces for “The Kind of Friend I Need,” a song from Barlow’s debut album, Music Played By Humans.
The recent craze for music documentaries was sparked by the sensational success of Bros: After The Screaming Stops in 2018, which received a rapturous reception from critics and fans alike, and even won a Bafta for pop star twins Matt and Luke Goss. It was also produced by Fulwell73.
