BREAKING NEWS: **Netflix** has officially announced a 16-part limited series chronicling the meteoric rise of legendary rock band **Boston** and the story of their visionary founder and captain, **Tom Scholz**. Titled *“The Captain’s Frequency,”* the ambitious project promises an in-depth exploration of one of classic rock’s most remarkable success stories.
Set to span 16 hour-long episodes, the series will trace Boston’s origins from Scholz’s basement recording experiments in the early 1970s to the explosive release of their self-titled 1976 debut album. That record, featuring timeless anthems like “More Than a Feeling,” “Peace of Mind,” and “Foreplay/Long Time,” became one of the best-selling debut albums in music history, redefining arena rock with its polished, layered guitar sound.
According to early reports, *“The Captain’s Frequency”* will blend dramatized storytelling with archival footage, rare interviews, and behind-the-scenes studio recreations. The title references Scholz’s engineering brilliance — a nod to the sonic precision and innovation that became Boston’s signature. Before becoming a rock icon, Scholz was an MIT-trained engineer, a detail the series will reportedly highlight as central to the band’s unique sound.

With Netflix doubling down on music-centered storytelling, expectations are high that *“The Captain’s Frequency”* could become a must-watch for rock fans and newcomers alike. Production is expected to begin later this year, with casting announcements a
