**Netflix Officially Announces Multi-Part Documentary Series on Jethro Tull**
Netflix has officially announced the upcoming release of a **multi-part documentary series** chronicling the remarkable journey of legendary British rock band **Jethro Tull**. The series, set to premiere later this year, promises to offer fans a rare and in-depth look at the band’s five-decade legacy, combining **archival footage**, **exclusive interviews**, and **behind-the-scenes insights** from both past and present members.
Led by the charismatic and flute-wielding **Ian Anderson**, Jethro Tull is known for blending rock, folk, blues, and classical influences into a sound that defied convention. From seminal albums like *Aqualung* and *Thick as a Brick* to their theatrical live performances, the band became one of progressive rock’s most distinctive voices.
The Netflix series—tentatively titled *“Living in the Past: The Jethro Tull Story”*—will span the band’s early days in late 1960s London, their explosive rise during the 1970s, through periods of reinvention, controversy, and enduring influence. Featuring commentary from Anderson, former band members like Martin Barre, and notable fans and fellow musicians, the documentary aims to celebrate both the triumphs and tribulations of one of rock’s most innovative acts.
In a press statement, Anderson shared his thoughts on the project:
**“It’s strange to see your life and work laid out on screen, but it’s also deeply gratifying. We’ve had a long and winding road—this series tells that story, warts and all.”**
Music historians and fans alike are already hailing the announcement as a long-overdue spotlight on a band whose genre-bending creativity paved the way for generations of musicians.
With Netflix’s track record of high-quality music documentaries, *“Living in the Past”* is poised to be a must-watch for rock enthusiasts and newcomers alike—an epic tribute to Jethro Tull’s enduring spirit.
