Netflix has officially unveiled a groundbreaking six-part limited series, ***“Till the End”***, chronicling the life of **James Hetfield**, the iconic frontman of **Metallica**. Directed by **Joe Berlinger** — the award-winning filmmaker behind *Metallica: Some Kind of Monster* and *Conversations with a Killer* — the series promises a raw and revealing portrait of one of rock’s most enduring figures.
With a **$65 million production budget**, *Till the End* blends **never-before-seen archival footage**, deeply personal **interviews**, and **cinematic dramatizations** to capture the intensity and humanity of Hetfield’s journey. Viewers will see the evolution of a man who transformed pain into power — from the explosive rise of Metallica to the private battles with addiction, loss, and self-forgiveness that shaped his soul.
Each of the six episodes dives into a different phase of Hetfield’s life: the anger that forged him, the fame that nearly destroyed him, and the grace that ultimately redeemed him. “It’s not just about rock,” Hetfield reflects in the trailer. “It’s about falling apart, finding peace, and holding on when everything burns around you.”
Filmed across **San Francisco**, **Nashville**, and **Vail, Colorado**, the series immerses audiences in the landscapes that defined Hetfield’s personal and creative rebirth. Friends, bandmates, and family members — including **Lars Ulrich**, **Kirk Hammett**, and **Robert Trujillo** — lend their voices to paint an unflinching, human portrait of the man behind the music.
*Till the End* is more than a music documentary — it’s a story of **redemption, resilience, and rebirth**, capturing the fire that refuses to die, even when the lights go out.
Till the End: The James Hetfield Story” premieres globally on Netflix in Summer 2026.**
