NETFLIX & THRILL
Lewisteasesnewdocumentary withhilariousspoofsofhitshows
Lewis Capaldi announced when his new documentary will be streaming on Netflix – in his own very unique way.
The East Whitburn star took to Instagram to share hilarious pictures of him dressed as iconic characters from hit shows Tiger King, Bridgerton, Wednesday and Squid Games.
He revealed that his new Netflix show, How I’m Feeling Now, will be released on the streaming platform next month.
It promises to be an honest look at his career so far and will be released globally on April 5.
Lewis also took a swipe at the reaction in the media after his announcement, comparing it to the furore after the release of Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare.
He replicated the shot by photoshopping his face onto the book cover, hinting at the fact there could be “bombshell revelations” in his upcoming show, saying: “Telling all. If you’ve ever wronged me get ready,”
He told fans on social media he is nervous about the reaction to the show, adding: “I’m pretty terrified for people to see this documentary if I’m quite honest, but I’m also really proud of it. I hope you enjoy it.”
The documentary – made in partnership with Netflix, BMG and Pulse Films – will be released ahead of his highly-anticipated second album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, out on May 19.
Directed by BAFTA winner Joe Pearlman, the all-access film was four years in the making and sees Lewis at a pivotal moment in his career.
It’s billed as having “the story of a young artist, returning to his roots after achieving unbelievable global success, attempting to reconnect with his old life and the family and friends he left behind”.
The film captures Capaldi’s defining year, follows him as he struggles to balance the familiarity of home, normality and all he’s
ever known, with life as one of the biggest stars on the planet, gleaning an intimate portrait of his unique character, hopes and fears in his own words.
Sam Bridger, Head of Music Film at Pulse Films, said: “This started out as a film about the process of creating the ‘difficult second album,’ but ended up being an astonishingly unguarded portrait of the pressures of fame on young shoulders, exploring one of the great conversations of our age – mental health.
“Such unfiltered access to one of the biggest stars on the planet is testament to the bravery of Lewis and his team who invited us into their world, and the incredible trust and storytelling instincts of director Joe Pearlman, producer Alice Rhodes and the production team.”
Stuart Souter, BMG Vice President Films added: “This is much more than just a music film.
“With the support of his family, Lewis has opened up in a unique way.
“Just like his music, we are confident that it will connect with people around the world”.
