Netflix Has Officially Announced the Upcoming Release of a Groundbreaking New Documentary Series Titled Korn: Revolution & Resonance, Promising an Unprecedented Exploration of One of the Most Iconic Bands in Music History
In a major announcement that has electrified both rock enthusiasts and documentary lovers alike, Netflix has confirmed the upcoming release of Korn: Revolution & Resonance, a bold and immersive new series chronicling the rise, reign, and cultural impact of the pioneering nu-metal band Korn. Slated for a global premiere later this year, the series aims to peel back the curtain on the band’s tumultuous journey — from raw Bakersfield beginnings to global stardom and artistic legacy.
Korn, often credited with revolutionizing the sound of heavy music in the 1990s, is known not just for its thunderous riffs and aggressive sonic palette, but for an emotional intensity that gave voice to a generation struggling with trauma, alienation, and rebellion. Now, for the first time, the full arc of their story is being told in vivid, unsparing detail through Netflix’s signature documentary style — intimate, unfiltered, and deeply human.
“We’re thrilled to bring Korn: Revolution & Resonance to audiences around the world,” said Netflix’s Head of Music Content, Elise Ramirez. “Korn is not just a band — they are a cultural force. This series doesn’t just follow their musical evolution, it explores how they became a voice for the unheard, and how they continue to influence both fans and fellow artists across genres.”
The series, which will span six hour-long episodes, is directed by Emmy-nominated documentarian Jake Mefferd, who previously helmed acclaimed music docs such as Concrete Dreams: The Story of Rage Against the Machine and Echoes of Seattle. Featuring rare archival footage, personal video journals, behind-the-scenes tour access, and candid interviews with the band members, the series offers a raw look at what it truly means to live as artists on the edge.
Viewers will hear directly from the band’s founding members — Jonathan Davis, James “Munky” Shaffer, Brian “Head” Welch, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu, and Ray Luzier — as they recount decades of life-altering highs and crushing lows. Topics range from the band’s breakthrough self-titled album in 1994 to their Grammy wins, inner-band conflicts, personal losses, substance abuse battles, and eventual redemption.
What makes Revolution & Resonance particularly compelling is how it contextualizes Korn’s musical innovations within broader cultural moments. The series dives deep into how the band’s emotionally raw lyrics and genre-blending style mirrored a shifting youth culture in the late ’90s and early 2000s, when disillusionment and emotional honesty found fertile ground in the hearts of millions.
“People think of Korn as just heavy music, but it’s always been about feeling — about facing demons head-on,” said frontman Jonathan Davis in a teaser clip from the series. “We never wanted to fit in. We wanted to be real. This is the first time we’ve really told the whole truth.”
The series also features commentary from a wide range of artists and critics, including Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Billie Eilish, Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), Trent Reznor, and even pop producer Rick Rubin, all of whom reflect on Korn’s seismic influence and enduring relevance in a rapidly evolving music landscape. Fans can expect previously unreleased tour footage, studio session moments, and deeply personal family interviews that show the sacrifices behind the success.
From Davis’s haunting stage presence and iconic bagpipes to Head’s journey through addiction and faith, and Fieldy’s battles with sobriety, Revolution & Resonance doesn’t shy away from the darkness. But it also celebrates survival — and the unbreakable bond between a band and its fans.
Adding to the buzz, Netflix has also teased a limited-edition soundtrack tied to the series, featuring remastered tracks, acoustic versions, and commentary from the band, along with exclusive merchandise and behind-the-scenes content for fans who want to dive even deeper.
Revolution & Resonance is more than just a music doc — it’s a chronicle of transformation, defiance, and the power of art to make people feel seen. Whether you’re a lifelong Korn fan or discovering their impact for the first time, this is a series that promises to stir, inspire, and resonate.
Korn: Revolution & Resonance premieres worldwide on [insert release date], exclusively on Netflix.
