“Any song that Willie has written, he’s lived it.” Paramount+ has debuted their new biopic doc series called Willie Nelson & Family, available for streaming this week on their Paramount+ service. This originally premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival earlier in the year, playing in their new Series section. The first authorized work exploring the extraordinary life of Willie Nelson traverses the personal and career ups, downs, and in-betweens of one of the world’s most beloved musicians, by turns spiritual, dramatic, and playful. Willie Nelson is now 90 years old and still going! This seems less of a “reality” series and more of a comprehensive look at his life and family, spanning four episodes and over four hours. “Award-winning filmmakers Thom Zimny & Oren Moverman fuse their own unique styles to construct an intimate, cinematic memoir of the Red Headed Stranger, traversing the highs, lows, and in-betweens of Willie’s personal life and professional career.” Sounds good! This is a really stellar trailer, makes me want to watch. Check it out.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Paramount+’s series Willie Nelson & Family, from YouTube:
With a career spanning seven decades, Willie Nelson is widely recognized as one of the greatest singer-songwriter-guitar players in the history of music. A badass American outlaw cowboy who transcended his humble beginnings in small-town Abbott, Texas, he remains beloved in blue states, red states, and let’s not forget — altered states. Willie also continues to speak for people from all walks of life with his music, philanthropy, marijuana advocacy, and his activism on behalf of the American farmer. Willie Nelson & Family is a doc series directed by award-winning filmmakers Thom Zimny (The Ties That Bind, Elvis Presley: The Searcher, The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash, Western Stars, Sly) and Oren Moverman (The Messenger, Rampart, Time Out of Mind, The Dinner). From Blackbird Presents and Sight Unseen Pictures. Exec produced by Mark Ankner, Leonid Lebedev, Julia Lebedev, Oren Moverman, Annie Nelson, Mark Rothbaum, Sean M. Stuart, Eddie Vaisman, Keith Wortman, Thom Zimny. Paramount debuted Willie Nelson & Family streaming starting December 21st, 2023 this month. It’s out to watch now. Interested?
