Netflix Releases Trailer for the Highly Anticipated Anthony Kiedis Documentary
Netflix has just dropped the powerful first trailer for its upcoming documentary, *Anthony Kiedis: Under the Bridge of Time*, chronicling the extraordinary life and career of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ frontman. The film, set for release in early 2026, promises an unflinching look at the man behind one of rock’s most enduring voices — a journey marked by rebellion, addiction, love, and redemption.
The trailer opens with haunting shots of Los Angeles, the city that shaped both Kiedis and the Chili Peppers’ unmistakable sound. “L.A. raised me — for better and for worse,” Kiedis narrates, his voice layered over early concert footage and candid home videos. The preview teases interviews with bandmates Flea, Chad Smith, and John Frusciante, as well as contributions from music legends like Iggy Pop and Billie Joe Armstrong, who reflect on Kiedis’s lasting influence on alternative rock.
Director Laura Poitras, known for her intimate and deeply human storytelling, captures Kiedis’s struggles with fame and his decades-long battle with addiction, contrasting his darkest moments with the spiritual awakening that inspired hits like *Scar Tissue* and *Californication*. Fans also catch glimpses of previously unseen rehearsal clips, childhood photos, and emotional moments with Kiedis’s son, Everly Bear.
The documentary’s raw tone and poetic cinematography have already sparked major buzz online, with critics calling the trailer “one of the most honest portraits of a rock icon ever attempted.” As Netflix prepares to unveil the full feature, anticipation among fans is at an all-time high. *Anthony Kiedis: Under the Bridge of Time* isn’t just a story about music — it’s about survival, forgiveness, and the eternal search for meaning beneath the lights of Los Angeles.
