Rolling Stone Video Franchises Are Headed to Netflix

Two Rolling Stone video franchises will be available to watch on Netflix in the United States and several other countries starting in August.

Episodes of both “The Breakdown” and “My Life in 10 Songs” will arrive on the streaming platform Aug. 3. Both series center around in-depth interviews with artists as they dig into how they made their biggest hits and the songs that shaped their lives. Both archival episodes, and future new episodes, will be available to watch on Netflix. 

Installments of “The Breakdown” have included Dua Lipa talking about “Houdini,” Teddy Swims on “Lose Control,” Tyla on “Water,” Shaboozey on “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” and Doechii on “Denial Is a River.” Meanwhile, “My Life in 10 Songs” has featured Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, Zara Larsson, Zayn, and Jack Harlow.

Rolling Stone is one of several publications that has partnered with Netflix to make its video content available on the platform. Other outlets under the PMX/Penske Media umbrella participating include Billboard, Eater, Indiewire, The Hollywood Reporter, and Variety. 

Outlets at other media companies — like Condé Nast, Buzzfeed Studios, Hearst Magazines, People Inc., and Tastemade — have also partnered with Netflix. Videos from all outlets will be available in the U.S., as well as Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. 

“Members don’t just want to watch a show or film and move on — they want to keep exploring the stories and personalities they love long after the final credits roll,” Netflix’s Vice President, Animation Series + Kids & Family TV John Derderian, who is overseeing the initiative, said in a statement. “These partnerships help us deepen fandom and create more ways for members to carry those stories with them throughout their day.”
