In the teaser, Williams reflects on his journey, stating, “The thing that would destroy me has also made me successful,” as the footage showcases key moments from his time in the limelight. He continues with a message of ambition, saying, “Big. More. Touch the fire. Touch the button, push when it says pull.” Accompanying these words are scenes of Williams performing to massive crowds in stadiums across the globe.

The ‘Angels’ singer acknowledges the double-edged sword of fame, noting, “All of those things have given me my career, but there’s also a detrimental side to it too. It depends which wolf you feed.”
The teaser offers glimpses of Williams’s emotional moments on stage, behind-the-scenes footage, and even a gravity-defying performance where he hangs upside down during a concert.
The documentary, according to the trailer’s press release, will delve into Williams’s struggles with addiction and his path to recovery. It will also explore significant events in his career, including his departure from Take That and their eventual reunion. All of this will be presented through new interviews and valuable archive footage.
Netflix unveiled the trailer on September 4 through their Twitter account, accompanied by the caption: “Let us (if you don’t mind) entertain you!”. The highly anticipated series is set to premiere on Netflix in late 2023, promising an intimate and revealing look at the life and career of one of music’s most iconic figures, Robbie Williams.
