Netflix has officially pulled the plug on its highly anticipated documentary about the legendary musician Prince. The decision, reached in agreement with the late artist’s estate, means fans will have to wait indefinitely for an official deep dive into his life and legacy.

The six-part documentary, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Ezra Edelman, had been in production for four years. However, a joint statement obtained by CNN confirmed that Netflix and the Prince Estate had mutually decided to halt its release.

“The Prince Estate and Netflix have come to a mutual agreement that will allow the estate to develop and produce a new documentary featuring exclusive content from Prince’s archive. As a result, the Netflix documentary will not be released,” the statement read.

While neither party provided further details, reports suggest creative differences may have influenced the decision, particularly regarding how best to portray the global music icon’s life and career.

With Netflix stepping away, the Prince Estate now holds full creative control over any future projects. It remains unclear when or how a new documentary will take shape, leaving fans eager for more insight into the artist’s unparalleled musical journey.

For now, those hoping to see never-before-seen footage and stories from Prince’s archive will have to wait, as the fate of his documentary remains uncertain.
