**Netflix Announces Powerful Six-Part Limited Series “Till the End” — The Untold Story of James Hetfield, the Voice, the Soul, and the Storm Behind Metallica**
Netflix has officially revealed one of its most anticipated projects yet — a **six-part limited documentary series** titled *“Till the End,”* directed by the acclaimed filmmaker **Joe Berlinger**, known for his groundbreaking work on *“Metallica: Some Kind of Monster.”* This time, Berlinger returns to dive even deeper into the turbulent, inspiring, and profoundly human story of **James Hetfield** — the frontman who has defined **Metallica** for over four decades.
*“Till the End”* promises an unflinching exploration of Hetfield’s life — from his modest beginnings in Downey, California, to his rise as one of rock’s most iconic and complex figures. The series will chronicle his battles with fame, addiction, and self-identity, as well as his relentless pursuit of authenticity through every riff, lyric, and moment of silence. Featuring **never-before-seen footage**, exclusive interviews with bandmates **Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo**, and commentary from close friends and musical contemporaries, the series paints an intimate portrait of the man behind the microphone — the voice that carried generations through chaos and catharsis.
According to Berlinger, *“This is not just the story of a musician — it’s the story of a man who faced the abyss and found his way back through music, faith, and family.”*
*“Till the End”* will also delve into the making of some of Metallica’s most defining albums, from *“Ride the Lightning”* and *“Master of Puppets”* to *“Hardwired… to Self-Destruct.”*
Set for release in **spring 2026**, this emotionally charged docuseries is being hailed as a raw, redemptive, and deeply personal chronicle of resilience.
**James Hetfield’s truth — loud, honest, and eternal — finally takes center stage in “Till
the End.”**
