The first trailer for Netflix’s Wham! documentary is here. The movie will chart George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s journey in the 1980s from school-friends to international pop stars, as well as Michael’s emergence as a gay icon. Watch the preview below.
The film, just called Wham!, combines previously unseen interviews and footage from the two artists’ archives, charting the band’s whirlwind four-year career before Michael went solo. Chris Smith, the documentary filmmaker whose credits include Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened and Jim & Andy, is directing the movie. It arrives in Netflix on July 5, preceded by screenings in some UK theaters the week before.
