A new Beatles documentary from producer Martin Scorsese and director David Tedeschi has been set for premiere on Disney+ on November 29th.
Titled Beatles ’64, the film will feature never-before-seen footage of the band’s first trip to the United States in February 1964, shot by documentarians Albert and David Maysles. Promising to tell “a more intimate behind the scenes story” of their breakout performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, it includes new interviews with surviving Beatles members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr — both of whom also co-produced.

This isn’t Scorsese’s first Beatles documentary. In 2011, he helmed George Harrison: Living in the Material World, which traced the guitarist’s life from his early days in Liverpool to his travels to India.
One week before the documentary, a box set titled The Beatles: 1964 U.S. Albums in Mono will be released, featuring seven Beatles album reissues cut from their original mono master tapes, including Meet the Beatles!, The Beatles’ Second Album, A Hard Day’s Night (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), Something New, The Beatles’ Story (2xLP), Beatles ’65, and The Early Beatles. Vinyl and CD pre-orders are ongoing.
Beatles ’64 follows Peter Jackson’s 2021 docuseries The Beatles: Get Back. Earlier this year, it was announced each member of the band would be the subject of his own biopic in a series of films directed by Sam Mendes, set for release in 2027.
Meanwhile, McCartney is in the midst of a 2024 South American tour, with UK and European tour dates to follow later in the year. Look for last-minute tickets here.
