Take That fans have got a first look at the band’s new Netflix documentary, spotting the series’ especially poignant release date.

“Nothing beats being in a band,” says frontman Gary Barlow in the trailer. “There’s a strength, there’s a buzz… But I don’t think anything could prepare you for what we were about to take on, come the ’90s.”

The trailer for the three-part series dropped earlier today (December 29). It shows all five bandmates – Gary, Robbie Williams, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange – backstage preparing for a show.

Netflix revealed the documentary will feature never-before-seen archive footage to chart the rise, fall and record-breaking reunion of one of the UK’s most iconic boy bands.

Now, in this three-part limited docu-series, go behind the scenes with Gary, Howard, Mark, Jason and Robbie as they reveal their personal experiences in a band that captivated millions of fans, playing sold-out shows, topping the charts with 12 huge UK No.1 hit singles and selling over 45 million records worldwide.”

The documentary will feature “35 years of rare archive, never-before-seen footage”. It’ll also air “personal material plus brand-new interviews with Gary, Howard and Mark”.

Fans react

Take That fans have predicted they’ll need tissues when they watch the emotional documentary, which arrives on the streaming service as a host of other shows are removed.

They’ve also spotted a nod to one of the five boys when it comes to the January 27 release date. As die-hard fans of the band will know, that’s also Mark’s birthday!

He’ll turn 54 on the day the series drops.
