Disney+ has dropped a tantalizing trailer for its newly restored and expanded "The Beatles Anthology" docuseries, and fans of the Fab Four can hardly contain their excitement. The original series, which debuted in 1995, now boasts nine episodes, offering an even more detailed look into the story and legacy of one of the most iconic bands in music history.
According to the trailer, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon (in archival footage), George Harrison (also in archival footage), and Olivia Harrison take viewers on a journey through The Beatles' remarkable eight-year tenure as a band. The series covers everything from their gritty early days to the phenomenon of Beatlemania and global superstardom.
A new ninth episode, directed by Oliver Murray, features previously unreleased footage showcasing Paul, George, and Ringo during the creation of the original 1990s "Anthology" series and music project. This episode is a welcome addition to an already impressive lineup, which includes eight episodes directed by Geoff Wonfor, Bob Smeaton, Matt Longfellow, among others.
The restoration process was handled by Apple Corps production team in collaboration with technicians at Peter Jackson's Park Road Post in Wellington, New Zealand, ensuring that the original footage and sound have been meticulously restored to their former glory.
Fans can now get a glimpse into this incredible archive of The Beatles' history. The first three episodes will stream on November 26, followed by episodes four through six streaming on November 27, with the final three, including the bonus ninth episode, premiering on November 28.

I'm literally shaking with excitement! 
This is like a dream come true for all the Beatles fans out there! 
Nine episodes? That's like, so much content to devour! 
Can't wait to see all that archival footage and hear the stories behind the making of those iconic albums. 
And did you know it was just restored by Apple Corps production team with help from Peter Jackson's crew? Talk about dedication to preserving music history! 
November 26 can't come soon enough, I'm prepping my viewing schedule! 
Honestly, who thought it was a good idea to put out a "new" trailer for a docu series that's been out since '95? I mean, I get why fans would be stoked, but come on, Disney+, how about you guys work on something that's actually new instead of just re-releasing old content? 
And can we talk about the restoration process for a sec? Like, I'm sure it was super tedious, but who gets to decide what's "new" and what's not in this case? It feels like they're just slapping a new label on something that's already been out for ages. 
that's a lot of restoration work going on... wonder how much it set them back 
been out of my radar since I was a kid but still sounds pretty cool 
! And can you believe they're gonna stream it all in one go? That's so awesome... I mean, who doesn't love The Beatles, right? I was born just after the 70s, so I never got to see them perform live, but my mum used to play their records all the time 
. It'll be sick to watch this documentary and get a glimpse into what it's like to be part of one of the most iconic bands ever! 
I'm like super late to the party but I just saw this trailer and OMG I'm so hyped for this docuseries!! 
i mean, nine episodes?! that's like, a whole season of Beatles content! 
can't wait to dive in on Nov 26 & see what's cooking! 
Can't wait to see what they've got in store!
