Netflix and Roku have taken U.S. rights on the BBC and Blink Films‘ Wham! doc, which airs tomorrow.
WHAM!: Last Christmas Unwrapped has been acquired from Sony Pictures Entertainment by Netflix and Roku for audiences within the U.S., SBS for Australia and TV New Zealand.
The doc tells the story of how George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s beloved 80s’ duo turned one track right into a cultural phenomenon. It launches tomorrow on the BBC and the next day within the U.S. We unveiled trailer late final week, which might be seen under.
Directed by BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominated Nigel Cole (Calendar Girls, Made in Dagenham), the present consists of an unique broadcast of Michael performing “Last Christmas” at Wembley Arena in December 2006 together with by no means earlier than seen outtakes from the unique 35mm music video footage. It can even reunite a few of the group of pals from the unique music video, set in opposition to the snow-covered backdrop of Saas-Fee in Switzerland. Interviewees embrace Mary J Blige, Bob Geldof, Neil Tennant and Sam Smith, who give their views on the track’s themes of unrequited love and loss.
Wham!: Last Christmas Unwrapped, produced by Blink Films and Sony Music Entertainment in affiliation with Andrew Ridgeley and George Michael Entertainment, will air tomorrow on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
