Apple is making a five-part documentary on Martin Scorsese

After directing dozens of documentaries over his 60-year career, legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese will now have his own life chronicled for Apple TV Plus. In its announcement, Apple says the five-part Mr. Scorsese documentary series will explore how themes like “the place of good and evil in the fundamental nature of humankind” have shaped Scorsese’s filmography as far back as his student work at New York University.

Apple hasn’t mentioned a release date for the docuseries, which is being directed by Rebecca Miller (She Came to Me, Personal Velocity). Mr. Scorsese will benefit from “exclusive, unrestricted access to Scorsese’s private archives,” according to Apple, alongside extensive interviews with Scorsese himself that dive into how his own life experiences have influenced his work.

The series also includes “never-before-seen interviews” with the filmmaker’s friends, family, and creative collaborators, including Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Robbie Robertson, Steven Spielberg, and Miller’s husband, Daniel Day-Lewis.

“[Scorsese’s] work and life are so vast and so compelling that the piece evolved from one to five parts over a five-year period,” said Miller. “Crafting this documentary alongside my longtime collaborators has been one of the defining experiences of my life as a filmmaker.”
