However you think of Wham! — as one-hit wonders (wrong!), cheesy ’80s stars (weren’t they all?), or “just” George Michael’s old band — Netflix’s new documentary might make you rethink.
With reportedly “unprecedented” access to archival footage and personal recordings of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley dating back to their childhood friendship, Wham! charts their four-year rise to fame and their time as one of the biggest bands in the world. Despite sharing a director with FYRE, the trailer sets a rosy, positive tone — so if you’re hoping for salaciousness and scandal, you might need to go-go somewhere else.
Wham! premieres on Netflix July 5.
