Nov. 17 (UPI) — Disney+ is previewing an expanded version of The Beatles Anthology before the docuseries arrives on the streamer Nov. 26.
The Beatles Anthology, which first aired in 1995, initially contained eight episodes, but the restored version will span nine, a press release states, and it will include previously unseen content.
“The series spans the band’s gritty, hungry early days, to the phenomenon of Beatlemania and global superstardom,” the official synopsis reads. “John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr take us along for the ride as they revisit the highs and lows and twists and turns of The Beatles’ long and winding eight years as a band.”
“You find someone you can play music with; it’s a very special thing,” a young McCartney says in the trailer released Monday.
Episodes 1-3 begin streaming Nov. 26 on Disney+, with Episodes 4-6 to follow Nov. 27 and Episodes 7-9 on Nov. 28.
