Legendary Classic Rock Band Documentary Drops on Netflix This Week originally appeared on Parade.
The surviving members of Led Zeppelin reunited to reflect on their groundbreaking years as a band in Becoming Led Zeppelin — and now, the documentary is making its way to Netflix.
Arriving on streaming on Saturday, June 7, the rock film features exclusive interviews with Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones, conducted by directors Bernard MacMahon and Allison McGourty.
The film also includes never-before-seen footage and audio of drummer John Bonham, offering a rare glimpse of the late musician before his tragic death.
According to the official synopsis from Sony Pictures Classics, “Becoming Led Zeppelin explores the origins of this iconic group and their meteoric rise in just one year—against all odds.”
Led Zeppelin formed in 1968 with Plant on vocals, Page on guitar, Jones on bass and Bonham on drums. The band called it quits in 1980 following Bonham’s passing.

Over their 12-year career, they released eight studio albums. Their final release, Coda, came out in 1982 and featured previously unreleased songs and live recordings.
This documentary marks a historic moment for the band, as it is the first film profile supported by the surviving members. As for why it took so long, Page shared his thoughts in a 2021 interview with Hey U Guys.
“All the documentaries I’d seen up until this one were really, really lightweight,” Page said. “They didn’t actually give any sort of perspective on what was happening with the music—why the music was what it was, why there was improvisation every night. That made us very different from everybody else. No, they missed all of it.”
Page added that while there had been previous attempts to bring the film to life, none of the directors captured the essence of the band—until he met MacMahon and McGourty.
“I had a lot of patience with Bernard and Allison when they were when they were presenting the idea of what they wanted to do because it was so in line with the way that I thought about it, too … I’m so thrilled to be here now that they manifested exactly what they said they would do.”
