**Netflix Turns Up the Volume: Officially Announces Powerful New Documentary Series on Rob Halford – A Raw, Riveting Exploration of the Metal God’s Life, Legacy, and Unbreakable Spirit**
Netflix is ready to rock fans around the world with the official announcement of a bold new documentary series centered on one of heavy metal’s most iconic figures: Rob Halford, the legendary frontman of Judas Priest. Titled *Metal God: The Rob Halford Story*, the series promises a raw, unfiltered look into the highs, lows, and lasting legacy of a man who helped define a genre.
Spanning decades of groundbreaking music, personal battles, and cultural triumphs, the series will blend never-before-seen archival footage, intimate interviews, and behind-the-scenes access to Halford’s life both on and off the stage. From his meteoric rise with Judas Priest to his powerful journey as an openly gay metal icon in a historically hyper-masculine space, Halford’s story is one of resilience, authenticity, and evolution.
Executive produced by Halford himself alongside award-winning documentary filmmaker Rachel Morrison (*Mudbound*, *What Happened, Miss Simone?*), the series aims to strip back the leather and chains to reveal the human being beneath the stage persona. Viewers can expect an unflinching look at his battles with addiction, his road to self-acceptance, and the fire that continues to fuel his passion for music decades into his career.
“People know the voice, the stage, the power—but there’s so much more,” Halford said in a statement. “This is my story, told with honesty, heart, and, of course, a whole lot of metal.”
*Metal God: The Rob Halford Story* is slated for release in early 2026 and promises to be a must-watch for metalheads, music fans, and anyone who believes in the power of being unapologetically yourself.
