New The Beatles Series Debuts To Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score

The documentary series The Beatles Anthology has earned a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes after becoming available all at once on streaming platforms. Originally broadcast in the UK in 1995 as a six-part series, it has been re-released several times. The most recent version is on Disney+, featuring eight expanded episodes plus a ninth bonus episode.

The new show isn’t just a big moment for Disney+. Critics are loving it too! According to Rotten Tomatoes, the 2025 release of The Beatles Anthology has a perfect 100% rating, based on nine reviews. People are especially praising how the series explores the Beatles’ musical journey, and the bonus episode is also getting rave reviews.

Stuart Heritage of The Guardian commended the documentary series for its remastered quality, particularly highlighting the improved audio compared to the original. David Bianculli of NPR agreed, also appreciating the added value from new footage and other bonus content.

In a review for NME, Jordan Bassett especially highlighted the ninth episode added to the series, noting that it successfully justifies the re-release by providing fresh insights while remaining faithful to the original 1995 footage. Overall, the series seems to be receiving a more positive response than their 2021 Disney+ docuseries, The Beatles: Get Back.

Sarah Moran’s review of The Beatles Anthology on ScreenRant highlights the important contribution of director Peter Jackson, and calls the final episode a touching farewell to the band. The overwhelmingly positive response suggests that public interest in The Beatles and their musical legacy will remain strong for a long time.

The upcoming Beatles biopics directed by Sam Mendes are generating a lot of excitement. Each film will tell the story from the point of view of a different band member: Paul McCartney (played by Paul Mescal), George Harrison (Joseph Quinn), Ringo Starr (Barry Keoghan), and John Lennon (Harris Dickinson). All four movies are scheduled for release in theaters in April 2028.

The Beatles Anthology is a fantastic retrospective on the band’s history and is shaping up to be one of the best documentaries ever made about them. Even the additional episode feels like a natural and fitting conclusion, staying true to the band’s story and the documentary’s overall tone.

All episodes of The Beatles Anthology are now streaming on Disney+.
