Netflix has officially announced an upcoming documentary series centered on the life and legacy of Christine McVie, the iconic singer, songwriter, and keyboardist of Fleetwood Mac. Titled Songbird: The Christine McVie Story, the series aims to provide an intimate portrait of McVie, delving into her personal and professional life. While specific details about the series are limited, the title suggests a focus on McVie’s enduring influence in the music industry.
Previously, in 2019, BBC Four aired a 90-minute documentary titled Fleetwood Mac’s Songbird: Christine McVie, which featured interviews with McVie, her bandmates Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, and John McVie, as well as other musicians like Neil Finn and Mike Campbell. Directed by Matt O’Casey, the documentary provided insights into McVie’s journey with Fleetwood Mac, her songwriting process, and her time away from the band. The film highlighted her contributions to hits such as “Over My Head,” “Don’t Stop,” and “Everywhere,” and explored her decision to leave the band in the late 1990s and later rejoin in 2013.
The upcoming Netflix series is expected to build upon the foundation laid by the 2019 documentary, offering a more comprehensive exploration of McVie’s life and career. Fans can anticipate a deeper look into her personal experiences, creative process, and the impact she had on the music world. As the series is still in development, further details regarding its release date and format will be announced in due course.
For those interested in exploring McVie’s legacy further, the 2019 BBC documentary is available for streaming on BBC iPlayer and Apple TV+.
