Netflix has officially announced a brand-new documentary series that will take fans deep into the legendary history of German heavy metal pioneers ACCEPT. The series, simply titled ACCEPT, promises to explore the band’s evolution from their early beginnings in the late 1970s to their global influence on metal music.

“ACCEPT has always been about pure power and unshakable determination,” said Hoffmann in a press statement. “This documentary is a tribute to the fans who kept us going all these years. It’s the story of how we survived, evolved, and stayed true to who we are.”
The ACCEPT docuseries is set to premiere globally on Netflix in late 2025, with multiple episodes covering different eras of the band’s history. Whether you’re a longtime headbanger or a new listener discovering the roots of metal, this series is set to be a must-watch.
