Marking the rock band's 60th anniversary, this series will show a global audience how the Rolling Stones created the blueprint for every budding rock band and grew from young blues-loving hopefuls to a globally recognized cultural brand.
Each episode will feature an intimate portrait of the band's charismatic members - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and the late Charlie Watts - exploring different dimensions of their personalities, their musical brilliance, and their cultural impact.
The series aims to reveal the Rolling Stones' creativity, their inspirations, and how they individually and collectively have overcome adversity, notoriety, and personal demons to write the soundtrack of our times.
"Compelling music docuseries have become a pillar of EPIX's slate of premium original programming, and My Life as a Rolling Stone is a perfect addition to that mix," said Michael Wright, president of EPIX.
My Life as a Rolling Stone is directed by Oliver Murray and Clare Tavernor, and produced by Mercury Studios.
