YouTube to Premiere Exclusive Rolling Stones Docuseries, Celebrating Legendary Rock Legacy
April 13, 2025* — YouTube has announced the exclusive release of a brand-new docuseries chronicling the incredible journey of one of rock music’s most iconic bands—**The Rolling Stones**. The series, titled *“Rolling Through Time,”* will premiere globally on YouTube beginning **April 25**, offering fans an intimate, behind-the-scenes look into the band’s 60-year legacy.
The multi-part series will be available for free on The Rolling Stones’ official YouTube channel, with new episodes dropping weekly. Each episode promises rare archival footage, candid interviews, and previously unreleased content that traces the Stones’ evolution from London blues enthusiasts to global rock legends.
“YouTube is thrilled to bring *Rolling Through Time* to fans all over the world,” said Lyor Cohen, Global Head of Music at YouTube. “The Rolling Stones aren’t just a band—they’re a cultural phenomenon. This series is a chance to go beyond the music and into the lives, struggles, and victories that defined them.”
Directed by acclaimed music documentarian Sam Taylor, the series includes exclusive interviews with **Mick Jagger**, **Keith Richards**, **Ronnie Wood**, and archived footage of **Charlie Watts**, as well as commentary from fellow artists like **Bono**, **Dave Grohl**, **Lady Gaga**, and more.
Spanning decades of music and mayhem, the series dives into the stories behind classic albums like *Let It Bleed*, *Exile on Main St.*, and *Tattoo You*, while also covering the Stones’ revolutionary tours, infamous scandals, and personal journeys.
One of the standout features of *Rolling Through Time* is the inclusion of fan-submitted footage and memories. In late 2024, YouTube ran a global campaign asking fans to share their own Stones experiences—concert clips, personal stories, photos, and memorabilia. Many of these submissions have found their way into the episodes, creating a truly interactive and global storytelling experience.
“This isn’t just about looking back,” said Sam Taylor, the series’ director. “It’s about understanding how The Rolling Stones shaped music, politics, and popular culture, and how they continue to influence new generations today.”
The series will also be supported by companion content including live Q&A sessions, behind-the-scenes shorts, and a dedicated Stones playlist curated by the band members themselves.
In a time when music documentaries are dominating streaming platforms, YouTube’s exclusive release of *Rolling Through Time* signals a major push into premium music storytelling. With its global reach and built-in fan community, the platform is uniquely positioned to deliver this kind of immersive experience.
Whether you’re a lifelong Stones fan or just discovering their legacy, *Rolling Through Time* offers a definitive look at the band that helped define rock and roll.
