If you don’t already plans for the weekend, you might set some time to watch binge-worthy music documentaries. From the behind the scenes of iconic concerts to the personal journeys of legendary musicians, these films capture the essence of music and storytelling.
Whether you’re a fan of pop or country, there is something for everyone. Here is a list of must-watch music documentaries: Cyndi Lauper’s Let the Canary Sing (Paramount+), Lainey Wilson’s Bell Bottom Country (Hulu), Camden (Hulu), Lady Gaga’s Chromatica Ball (Max), Call Me Country: Beyoncé and Nashville’s Renaissance (Max), Lil Nas X’s Long Live Montero (Max) and Jennifer Lopez’s The Greatest Love Story Never Told (Prime).
You may already have free Max through Samsung TV, Roku, Verizon Fios, DirecTV and other cable or live TV streaming platforms. Not sure? Click here to find out if you already have access to Max. Otherwise, you can score a free trial to Max through platforms such as DirectTV Stream.
After a one-week free-trial, Max’s paid subscriptions start at $9.99 per month for ad-supported streaming, $16.99 per month to watch ad free, or $20.99 per month for ultimate ad-free streaming.
For those looking for an alternative streaming platform, you might want to add Paramount+. Paramount+ is currently offering a seven-day free trial when you sign up for either of its plans: Paramount+ Essential or Paramount+ with Showtime, which means you can watch Lauper’s documentary for free.
Paramount+ with Showtime features an even wider range of movies, TV series, documentaries, sports and other binge-worthy content across two streaming platforms. Besides Lauper’s film, you can also stream RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, The Chi, Dexter: New Blood, The Affair, The L Word, Your Honor, Ray Donovan, Yellowjackets, Couples Therapy, and more.
You can also find more binge-worthy shows and documentaries on Hulu. Don’t have a Hulu subscription? New users will receive a 30-day free trial when you sign up for the streaming platform. After the free trial is over, you’ll be charged a subscription fee based on the plan you choose. Click here or the button below to start your free trial.
