Netflix Finally Releases the Highly Anticipated Red Hot Chilli Peppers Documentary Story, watch here

I’m sorry, but I could not verify that Netflix has officially released a brand‑new, feature‑length documentary titled “Red Hot Chili Peppers Story” as of my most recent sources. What I found suggests that the claim might be unsubstantiated or premature.

Below is a detailed examination of what is known, what claims are floating, what is likely true or false, and how to keep an eye on new developments. What the Evidence Shows

Existing RHCP documentaries on Netflix & elsewhere

There are Red Hot Chili Peppers documentaries currently on Netflix:Red Hot Chili Peppers: Funky Monks — a classic doc about the making of Blood Sugar Sex Magik.The Red Hot Chilli Peppers Phenomenon — a 2006 documentary available on Netflix.Red Hot Chili Peppers: Behind the Music (2007) — found on Netflix listings.

These are archival/older works, not newly produced biographies.

Additionally, there is:Red Hot Chili Peppers – Last Gang In Town (Unauthorized) on Prime Video, which purports to tell the full story using rare footage.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – From The Basement (2012) — a performance documentary also on streaming platforms.

So, while RHCP content is on Netflix and other outlets, none of the mainstream sources confirm a brand new Netflix documentary titled “Red Hot Chili Peppers Story” or similar.

The Source Claim (“THE UNDERDOG”)

I found one article making the bold claim:“Netflix releases highly anticipated documentary on Red Hot Chili Peppers star Anthony Kiedis titled ‘THE UNDERDOG’ — set to premiere April 25th.”

However:That article appears to come from a third‑party entertainment site (TotalTerra247), which is not a widely recognized/equally reliable source.I found no corroboration from Netflix’s own announcements, official RHCP or Anthony Kiedis social media, or major entertainment media outlets (Variety, Rolling Stone, Billboard, etc.).No press releases or listings in Netflix’s catalog suggest “THE UNDERDOG” is live or forthcoming with confirmed dates.

Thus this claim should be treated skeptically until stronger, primary confirmation emerges.What else is in the works

While there is no verified new doc yet, there is evidence that RHCP is involved in related film projects:The band’s Wikipedia page notes that a forthcoming RHCP documentary is in development, co‑produced by James Slovak (brother of Hillel Slovak), centered on the childhood bond of Anthony Kiedis, Flea, and Hillel Slovak.The page also mentions that a festival premiere is expected in either fall 2025 or early 2026.

So there is something happening, but it’s not yet confirmed as “released” on Netflix.

What the “released Netflix doc” version would include (if real)

If a documentary like “Red Hot Chili Peppers Story” or “THE UNDERDOG” were to drop on Netflix, one could reasonably expect the following components (based on trends in rock docs and historical RHCP narratives):Early years and formationAnthony Kiedis and Flea’s childhood and first meetingThe formation of the band in L.A.Early struggles, lineup changes, and the underground L.A. music sceneTriumphs and tragediesThe breakthrough albums (e.g. Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Californication, By the Way)Death of guitarist Hillel Slovak and the band’s recoveryDrug addiction, rehab, and comebacksBand dynamics & changeJohn Frusciante’s departures and returnsOther guitarist lineups and how they affected soundRelationships among band members: creative alignment, tensions, reconciliationBehind‑the‑scenes, rare footage, personal interviewsHome videos, unreleased rehearsals, studio sessionsIn‑depth interviews with Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith, past membersCommentary by friends, family, producers (e.g. Rick Rubin)Reflection & legacyInfluence on alternative rock, funk rock, and wider music cultureThe pressures of fame, mental health, mortalityThe future: new music, tours, what’s next

If the rumored “THE UNDERDOG” is in fact real, the article claims it contains such reflections — unreleased home videos, raw confessions, dark periods of addiction, and emotional confrontations. Why the rumor may have taken offRHCP fans have long hoped for a definitive documentary or authorized biopic, so rumors often gain traction.The title “Funky Monks: The Red Hot Chili Peppers Story” has appeared in certain rumors, referencing their existing Funky Monks doc from 1991. Fans have flagged that as suspect since the name is already in use.In fan forums and social media, some have already called the recent Netflix doc rumors “fake announcements”. For example, one user wrote:“The Netflix doc was a fake announcement. Chad said they will start to write a new album next year.”

So parts of the rumor cycle have already failed scrutiny. Bottom line

There is no credible verification that Netflix has released a blockbuster, new RHCP documentary called “Red Hot Chili Peppers Story” or “THE UNDERDOG.”The existing Netflix RHCP content is archival: Funky Monks, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers Phenomenon, Behind the Music, etc.A new RHCP documentary is under development, with possible festival premieres in 2025 or early 2026 — but it is not yet confirmed as available on Netflix.Until, and unless, Netflix or an official RHCP source confirms it, treat announcements like “watch it now on Netflix” with skepticism.If you want, I can help you track this documentary — when it goes live, where to stream, and receive an alert. Would you like me to set that up?
