Netflix has officially announced a new documentary series titled Songbird: The Christine McVie Story, which will explore the life, legacy, and extraordinary musical journey of Christine McVie, the iconic singer, songwriter, and keyboardist of Fleetwood Mac. The series promises an intimate look at McVie’s personal and professional life, celebrating her profound impact on the world of music.
Best known for penning and performing some of Fleetwood Mac’s most beloved hits—including “Everywhere,” “Little Lies,” “Songbird,” and “You Make Loving Fun”—McVie played a pivotal role in shaping the band’s sound and success. The documentary will delve into her early days as a classically trained pianist, her rise to fame, and her complex relationships within Fleetwood Mac during the band’s tumultuous but wildly successful years.
Songbird will feature never-before-seen archival footage, rare photographs, and exclusive interviews with family members, close friends, and bandmates, including Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, and Lindsey Buckingham. The series aims to provide an honest and heartfelt portrait of McVie—not just as a legendary musician, but as a private, often underappreciated artist who let her music speak volumes.
Produced in collaboration with the McVie estate and Fleetwood Mac’s longtime collaborators, the series also highlights Christine’s lasting influence on generations of musicians and her quiet strength amid the chaos that surrounded the band. With a career spanning over five decades, McVie left behind a rich legacy that continues to inspire fans and artists around the world.
Songbird: The Christine McVie Story is expected to premiere globally on Netflix later this year. For music lovers and Fleetwood Mac fans alike, the documentary promises a touching tribute to one of rock’s most enduring and soulful voices.
