Paramount+ has announced the release of a two-part docuseries, How Music Got Free.
How Music Got Free will premiere on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada on June 11 and in the U.K., Australia, Latin America, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy on June 12.
Directed by Alexandria Stapleton, the series made its world premiere at the 2024 SXSW Film & TV Festival.
The docuseries is from executive producers Marshall “Eminem” Mathers, LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Paul Rosenberg and Steve Stoute and produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television/Telepictures in association with SpringHill, Interscope Films and Shady Films.
How Music Got Free details the fascinating, and often funny, inside story of the technology-driven disruption that changed music during the late-90s and early-2000s.
From New York City, to Los Angeles, to the small factory town of Shelby, North Carolina, the two-part series features the quirky genius of the unknown “pirates,” the drama of the FBI investigations and convictions, and the frontline accounts of music’s biggest artists and executives.
Narrated by Method Man, the series features interviews with Eminem, 50 Cent, Timbaland, Jimmy Iovine, Rocsi Diaz, Rhymefest, Steve Stoute and more.
“As a filmmaker, I wanted to challenge the narrow lens of who we regard as tech innovators,” said Stapleton. “How Music Got Free is a story that proves brilliant minds can be found in unlikely places, like the rural, forgotten factory town of Shelby, North Carolina.”
