Take That are gearing up for what might be their most ambitious year yet. With a massive 2026 comeback already on the horizon, including the Circus Live tour across the UK and Ireland and a long-awaited tenth studio album, the iconic pop group have now confirmed another major project: a no-holds-barred Netflix docuseries set to arrive next year.
Gary Barlow has revealed that the three-part series has been years in the making and promises to be far more than a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
The documentary, which has been in production for around two years, will span Take That’s entire journey, from their formation in 1990 and meteoric rise as Britain’s biggest boy band to their explosive breakup, reunions, reinventions, and enduring legacy. Across three one-hour episodes, viewers will gain what Netflix describes as a “deep understanding of the band’s dynamic, their individual stories, and the highs and lows they experienced together.”
Crucially, the project will feature interviews not just with current members Gary, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen, but also with Robbie Williams and Jason Orange, a rare chance for all five original members to reflect on the band’s history together.
“I have to tell you, it’s quite a watch, even for us,” Gary admitted. “I think fans are going to absolutely love it.” He also hinted that the docuseries will be closely tied to the group’s forthcoming music, describing it as “part of the new music” they’ve promised for 2026.
Take That’s story has always been one of evolution and resilience. From dominating the charts in the early ’90s to imploding after Robbie’s departure in 1995, and later reforming in 2005 to unexpected global acclaim, their career has been defined by dramatic shifts and triumphant returns. Robbie briefly rejoined for 2010’s Progress, while Jason retired from performing in 2014, yet the core trio has continued to thrive.
Now, with The Circus Live set to bring their spectacular stage show back to arenas and whispers of new music building, the upcoming docuseries promises to be the definitive telling of one of British pop’s most enduring stories. It will celebrate not just the hits, but the heartbreak, reinvention, and deep bond that has held Take That together across more than three decades.
And if Gary’s description is anything to go by, this isn’t just a documentary, it’s the final word on a band that has shaped generations.
