Netflix has announced that it is in the process of producing a documentary about the life and career of controversial musician Marilyn Manson. The project, slated for release in 2025, is expected to provide an in-depth look at Manson’s rise to fame, his impact on music and culture, and the controversies that have followed him throughout his career.
Marilyn Manson, born Brian Hugh Warner, rose to international fame in the 1990s as the frontman of the band Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids (later simply known as Marilyn Manson). His provocative image, dark theatrical performances, and controversial lyrics, which often challenged societal norms and questioned religious and political institutions, quickly made him a household name. With albums like Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals, Manson became a symbol of rebellion for a generation of young people. However, his public persona also sparked moral panic, particularly after tragedies such as the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, where he was wrongly blamed for influencing the perpetrators. This only added to the intrigue and divisiveness surrounding his character.
In recent years, Manson’s career has been marred by serious legal issues. The documentary is likely to touch on these incidents, exploring their impact on his career and public image. Despite the legal turmoil, Manson continues to maintain a presence in the music industry, with new music and tours. The documentary is expected to address how he has navigated the fallout from these allegations, as well as how his personal life has become intertwined with his public persona.
“We’re happy to announce that we’ve started production on this project, and it’ll be released on Netflix in 2025,” said a Netflix representative in an official statement. “Marilyn Manson is a figure who has both captivated and divided audiences for decades. His influence on music, fashion, and culture cannot be denied, and we aim to explore the complexity of his journey.”
