๐จ Netflix Announces โNew Era: Itโs Timeโ โ A Groundbreaking Red Hot Chili Peppers: An Anthony Kiedis Documentary ๐ฌ๐ฅ
Netflix has officially announced its latest must-watch music documentary, โNew Era: Itโs Time,โ a bold and emotional exploration of one of rockโs most magnetic and complex frontmen โ Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Set to premiere globally in early 2026, the film promises to be an intimate, unfiltered journey through the highs, lows, and reinventions of one of the most influential figures in modern rock history.
Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (It Might Get Loud, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie), the documentary combines rare archival footage, never-before-seen backstage clips, and candid interviews with Kiedis, his bandmates, and some of the biggest names in music. From the gritty streets of Los Angeles where the band was born to the worldโs grandest stages, โNew Era: Itโs Timeโ captures the essence of survival, creativity, and brotherhood that has defined the Red Hot Chili Peppers for over four decades.
The documentary delves deep into Anthony Kiedisโs personal transformation โ from his rebellious youth and struggles with addiction to his evolution as an artist, poet, and environmental advocate. Viewers will get a front-row seat to the emotional process behind writing some of the bandโs most iconic songs like โUnder the Bridge,โ โCalifornication,โ and โScar Tissue,โ all while reflecting on the price of fame and the pursuit of authenticity in an ever-changing industry.
In a statement released by Netflix, Kiedis described the project as โa mirror into the soul โ not just mine, but of every artist whoโs ever fought to stay true to themselves.โ Bandmates Flea, Chad Smith, and John Frusciante also appear throughout the film, offering heartfelt reflections on friendship, music, and the spiritual bond that keeps them together after decades of chaos and triumph.
With a pulsating soundtrack curated by the band themselves, โNew Era: Itโs Timeโ is set to redefine the modern music documentary โ blending raw emotion, artistic insight, and cinematic brilliance. As the Red Hot Chili Peppers continue to inspire generations, this film stands as both a tribute and a new chapter in their legacy.
๐ฅ โNew Era: Itโs Timeโ premieres worldwide on Netflix in March 2026 โ a celebration of resilience, rhythm, and the relentless spirit of Anthony Kiedis.
