A Calendar of Music Documentary Releases in 2024

As long as there are music fans, there will always be an audience for music documentaries. That's why lots of new stuff is on the way in 2024, from exciting deep dives into music history, to behind-the-scenes examinations of how new and old music was written, made and performed.

And so you don't miss any news, Advertising sign has compiled a list of all the real-world movies and series hitting screens this year, many of which are available to watch at home with various streaming services such as Disney+, HuluPrime Video, Paramount+, Peacock and Apple TV+. Here you'll find documentary projects covering music of all genres, as well as artists of all backgrounds, with up-close locations around the world that are rich in musical influence. Some are sentimental, some are cruel. some are whimsical and happy. Others will take you to places you may never have heard of or take you behind doors you would otherwise never have access to. But all of these should teach you something you didn't know before, no matter how big of a music fan or history buff you may be.
