Paul McCartney post-Beatles documentary trailer and streaming release date | Music | Entertainment

After a decade in the world’s biggest band, The Beatles split up in 1970 and solo careers beckoned.

Paul McCartney was very much a Man on the Run, the title of a new documentary on his life post-Fab Four and through the formation of his new band (on the run), Wings.

Alongside the trailer above, the official synopsis teases: “Man on the Run takes viewers on an intimate journey through Paul McCartney’s extraordinary life following the breakup of The Beatles and the formation of Wings with his wife, Linda. From Academy Award-winning director Morgan Neville, the film chronicles the arc of McCartney’s solo career as he faces down a myriad of challenges while creating new music to define a new decade. Through unprecedented access to previously unseen footage and rare archival materials, the documentary captures Paul’s transformative post-Beatles era through a uniquely vulnerable lens.”

The announcement added: “The documentary is the centerpiece of a comprehensive new partnership among Paul McCartney, Universal Music Group, and Amazon that will unfold over the next year, including the release of exclusive music and a series of merchandise drops with Amazon Music, available for fans to shop on Paul McCartney’s official store on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Music app, as well as one-of-a-kind commentary from McCartney himself. The partnership coincides with the release of his book Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run, which will be available on Amazon and Audible November 4, ‘WINGS’ the definitive self-titled collection available on streaming and limited edition vinyl on November 7, and McCartney’s Got Back tour dates across North America this autumn.”

Man on the Run hits Amazon Prime Video on February 25, 2026.
