On October 12 Netflix will launch the first in a series of eight ReMastered music documentaries. ReMastered will “investigate high-profile events affecting some of the most legendary names in music” such as Bob Marley, Johnny Cash and Sam Cooke. A new ReMastered installment will be released each month.
ReMastered has been created by Emmy and Peabody award-winners Jeff Zimbalist and Michael Zimbalist. The Zimbalist brothers tapped Kief Davidson, Barbara Kopple, Sara Dosa, Brian Oakes, Stuart Sender, B.J. Perlmutt, Kelly Duane de la Vega and Sam Cullman to direct the eight “tracks.” Up first is Who Shot The Sheriff from Davidson on October 12 featuring an investigation into the mysterious shooting of Bob Marley.
Future installments include Tricky Dick And The Man In Black in November about Johnny Cash’s political transformation, Who Killed Jam Master Jay? in December about the murder of the Run DMC member and Massacre At The Stadium in January 2019 on Victor Jara, a.k.a. Chile’s Bob Dylan. Watch a trailer for the series below:
