Netflix Announces *New Era: It’s Time* – A Groundbreaking Woodstock Progressive Rock Documentary to Premiere on the 25th
Netflix has officially announced the release of *New Era: It’s Time*, a brand-new multi-part documentary series chronicling the extraordinary journey of **Woodstock’s progressive rock movement**. The series, set to premiere worldwide on the 25th, promises to deliver an unprecedented look into the era that shaped modern rock and gave rise to some of the most influential and soul-stirring voices in music history.
The Woodstock festival of 1969 is remembered as a cultural milestone, a gathering that symbolized peace, love, and artistic freedom. But beyond its folk and psychedelic roots, it also became the breeding ground for progressive rock—a daring, experimental genre that blended classical influences with rock’s raw power. *New Era: It’s Time* shines a light on the pioneering artists who broke musical boundaries and electrified audiences with extended improvisations, surreal lyrics, and complex arrangements that pushed the limits of rock as it was known.
The documentary will feature rare archival footage from the Woodstock era, iconic live performances, and intimate interviews with surviving musicians, producers, and fans who witnessed the birth of a new musical frontier. Viewers will be guided through the stories of bands that emerged from or were inspired by Woodstock’s spirit, exploring how progressive rock evolved into a global phenomenon throughout the 1970s.
According to Netflix, the series is not only about music but about the cultural and social revolutions tied to it—how progressive rock reflected the hopes, frustrations, and rebellious spirit of a generation.
“Woodstock was more than a festival—it was a movement,” producers said. “This series honors the innovators who turned rock into something vast, ambitious, and deeply human.”
As anticipation builds, *New Era: It’s Time* is set to be a definitive tribute to the era when rock music dared to dream bigger.
