Robbie Williams Netflix Docuseries: Singer's 'Colossal' Drug Problem at Music Career Peak The Highlight

Robbie Williams is the latest celebrity to have a Netflix series developed on his life, which will naturally cover his secrets and struggles, things fans normally won't find out until they are released to the public.

The series is reportedly going to include his addiction difficulties.

The documentary series offers a "unfiltered" look at the award-winning career highlights and low points of the artist.

The multi-part series will premiere in 2023 with never-before-seen video and uncensored access to the former Take That member.

"Amy," a critically acclaimed documentary on Amy Winehouse released in 2015, is producing this project.

Joe Pearlman, who directed "Bros: After the Screaming Stops," which chronicled the lives of singers Luke and Matt Goss, is directing this film.

Robbie, 48, previously disclosed he entered rehab in 2007 after abusing "heart-stopping" quantities of speed, acid, heroin, cocaine, and prescription narcotics. The series will be an unedited, in-depth exploration of a global icon and natural-born entertainer who had to negotiate the highs and lows of being in the public eye for more than three decades.

Based on the official description released about the docuseries, it will cover Williams trying to navigate his career amid intense media scrutiny throughout his career. This would include all those that have been said about his "adulation and addiction, professional and personal break-ups, reunions, recovery." How his mental health suffered is going to be distinctively addressed.

It will be featuring 25 years' worth of intimate, never-before-seen archive, and exclusive access to Robbie; this definitive series is a no-holds-barred look at the entertainer and will reveal a more nuanced and multifaceted character."

Williams was a member of the musical group Take That from 1990 to 1995 before going on to sell 75.5 million records as a solo artist. He has also been on television and hosted the "Big Breakfast" in 1995, as well as written the lyrics for the musical "Boy in a Dress" and served as an "X Factor" judge alongside his wife Ayda Field, with whom he shares four children.

Previously, he admitted that he was "24 hours away from death" at the height of his addiction, during which he ingested a hazardous chemical combination. In 2009, he stated that he would take 20 Vicodin in just one night and then take Adderall.

Sativa, which is essentially LSD for five minutes, also joins in the mix sometimes. He said he might try to balance certain drugs with others, but his attempts were not all successful, which can be deadly.
