Netflix to Release New Documentary Series on Rock Legend Alice Cooper

Netflix to Unveil Explosive Docuseries on Shock Rock Icon Alice Cooper

Netflix is turning up the volume on rock history with the announcement of a brand-new documentary series spotlighting one of music’s most theatrical and influential figures—Alice Cooper. The series, tentatively titled “Welcome to My Nightmare: The Alice Cooper Story,” is set to offer an unprecedented look into the life, legacy, and darkly flamboyant world of the man who redefined rock performance.

With a career spanning over five decades, Alice Cooper—born Vincent Furnier—became a pioneer of shock rock, blending horror-themed theatrics with hard-hitting rock anthems. From guillotines and snakes to blood-stained stages, his concerts became the stuff of legend, pushing the boundaries of what a rock show could be. But behind the black eyeliner and dramatic persona lies a complex story of reinvention, resilience, and raw talent.

The upcoming docuseries will chronicle Cooper’s journey from a preacher’s son in Detroit to a rebellious rock icon whose influence still echoes across generations of musicians. Through rare archival footage, personal photos, and candid interviews with Cooper himself, as well as fellow artists, collaborators, and friends, viewers will get a front-row seat to his meteoric rise, his battles with addiction, and his remarkable personal transformation.

Far more than a tale of excess and shock value, the series promises to explore the duality of Cooper’s life—the wild man on stage and the grounded, golf-loving family man offstage. It will dive into his struggles with alcoholism, his religious awakening, and how he managed to survive the rock-and-roll machine without losing his identity.

Netflix has tapped a team of acclaimed documentary filmmakers known for their work on music legends and cultural icons. Their vision for the series is to capture not just the spectacle of Alice Cooper’s career, but the soul of the man who dared to challenge the norms of his time—using fear, fun, and fierce guitars.

The timing is perfect. With renewed interest in music documentaries, from The Beatles: Get Back to Miss Americana, fans are craving deeper stories about the people behind the music. Cooper’s tale, equal parts outrageous and inspiring, is sure to strike a chord.

Set for release later this year, “Welcome to My Nightmare” will offer fans a powerful and personal look into the mind of a rock legend who turned nightmares into anthems—and proved that even in darkness, there can be brilliance.
