Netflix has officially dropped the trailer for the much-awaited documentary Mr. Blue Sky: The Jeff Lynne Story, a 10-episode series that dives into the life and career of one of rock’s most creative minds. The show celebrates Jeff Lynne, the musical genius behind the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), whose unique blend of rock, classical, and pop has influenced generations of artists. Through a mix of rare archival footage, behind-the-scenes moments, and exclusive interviews, the series explores how Lynne shaped ELO’s groundbreaking sound — one that combined sweeping orchestral arrangements with catchy, layered melodies.
The trailer gives viewers a glimpse of Lynne’s musical journey, from his humble beginnings in Birmingham, England, to his rise as a global superstar. It highlights his perfectionism in the studio, his collaborations with icons like George Harrison, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan in the Traveling Wilburys, and his impact as a producer for artists such as Paul McCartney and Roy Orbison. Fans can also expect personal reflections from Lynne himself, who opens up about his inspirations and the creative process that fueled his timeless hits.
Set to stream exclusively on Netflix later this year, the series promises an emotional and inspiring look at how Jeff Lynne redefined the boundaries of modern rock while staying true to his artistic vision.
