Netflix has officially announced the completion of its much-anticipated documentary chronicling the life and legacy of rock icon Lemmy Kilmister. Titled Lemmy: Born to Lose, Lived to Win, the documentary is scheduled to premiere globally on August 15, 2025, giving fans an in-depth look into the extraordinary journey of the legendary Motörhead frontman.

“We are happy to announce that we are done with production and it will be released on August 15,” said Netflix in a joint statement with the producers. “This film is a celebration of Lemmy’s unparalleled legacy in rock music, and we are honored to share it with the world.”

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Greg Olliver, who previously co-directed the 2010 documentary Lemmy, this new production promises an even more comprehensive exploration of Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister’s life. The film draws from hours of unreleased footage, exclusive interviews, and rare personal archives, offering fans a never-before-seen portrait of the rock ‘n’ roll pioneer.

Lemmy, who passed away in December 2015 at the age of 70, is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in heavy metal and hard rock history. With his signature gravelly voice, mutton chops, and bass-playing style, he led Motörhead for four decades, carving out a sound that helped shape the genre and inspired countless bands. Songs like “Ace of Spades,” “Overkill,” and “Iron Fist” are now etched into rock folklore.

The documentary is said to delve deeply into Lemmy’s early life, from his childhood in Stoke-on-Trent and formative years in Wales, to his time as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and his stint with Hawkwind before founding Motörhead in 1975. Alongside bandmates “Fast” Eddie Clarke and Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor, Lemmy brought an unmatched intensity to the stage and studio alike.

The film also captures Lemmy’s notorious off-stage persona: the whiskey-drinking, slot machine-loving, larger-than-life character who became as iconic as his music. Yet, beyond the legend, the documentary reportedly reveals a deeply intelligent, witty, and thoughtful individual who remained fiercely loyal to his fans and friends.

In addition to interviews with surviving band members, music historians, and close personal friends, the documentary features commentary from rock legends such as Metallica’s James Hetfield, Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, and Ozzy Osbourne—all of whom cite Lemmy as a profound influence.

Olliver expressed his pride in being part of the project: “Lemmy wasn’t just a musician; he was a movement, a statement. This documentary goes beyond the leather, the volume, and the myth to show the man behind the music. He was authentic to the core, and we’ve tried to honor that in every frame.”

Netflix confirmed that the documentary will also be accompanied by a special companion album titled Lemmy: The Soundtrack, which will feature remastered tracks, live performances, and a few previously unreleased demos from Lemmy’s personal collection.

As anticipation builds ahead of the release, fans can expect a powerful tribute to one of rock’s most enduring figures. Whether a die-hard Motörhead follower or a newcomer to the genre, Lemmy: Born to Lose, Lived to Win is set to be a compelling reminder of why Lemmy Kilmister remains a towering figure in music history.

Mark your calendars—August 15, 2025, is the day Lemmy returns to the global stage, louder than ever.
