There's so many song title puns we could use here but let's just say that for any big fan, this could be magic.

For anyone whose soul is still at least partly stuck in the 90s, or who still maintains that Take That are the best boyband ever, you’ll be absolutely buzzing to learn that a new documentary series about the legendary British group is coming to Netflix.
Only a few months on from their blockbuster return to Manchester at the AO Arena and even more recently their reduced residency at Co-op Live as part of their massive world tour, Take That fans will soon be able to roll back the years even further thanks to the upcoming docuseries.
Coming exclusively to the Netflix streaming platform, this is the first standalone Take That documentary of its kind outside of a 44-minute featurette that aired on Channel 5 back in 2009.
While details are still very limited, this comes not long after the success of Robbie Williams’ self-titled documentary series which also landed on Netflix in November last year.
A new TAKE THAT series is in production! With access to Gary, Howard and Mark and featuring interviews with Jason and Robbie, this series will give unprecedented insight into one of Britain’s most successful and beloved bands.

As explained in the announcement, although the release date is yet to be confirmed, they have detailed that not only will the production team have access to the current lineup of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen, but it will also “feature interviews with Jason [Orange] and Robbie.”
Promising to “give unprecedented insight into one of Britain’s most successful and beloved bands”, you can expect the show (the number of episodes is still unknown) never-before-seen footage of the group and sit-downs with the five-piece.
It’s been a full decade since the band were all together, with Robbie returning for a short stint between 2010 and 2014 before exiting with Jason once again, but the three remaining members have continued to release new music and achieve huge commercial success both here in the UK and across the globe.
Barlow himself says has long been of the belief Williams and Orange might one day come back for good and, who knows? Even if there are still fences to be mended, maybe projects like this might help bring that possibility back into the frame.
"There was one person being managed in Take That, and it was Gary Barlow."

Having formed in Manchester back in 1990 and with several members hailing from 0161 to start with – Mark born in Oldham, Howard from Droyslden, Jason from Crumpsall and even Gary only from down the road in Cheshire – it goes without saying that their connection to our musical city is strong.
The iconic boyband’s collective home, for all intents and purposes, we think we speak for everyone when we say, one: we can’t wait to watch this series and two; we sincerely hope we see them all stood side by side again some day.
When we know more information about Netflix’s now highly-anticipated Take That documentary, believe us, you’ll be the first to know.
Until then, we’ll just keep reliving how nostalgic this night was:
