Bon Jovi Docuseries Announced for Hulu
A new Bon Jovi documentary Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, is set to debut this spring on Hulu, the band announced.
All past and present members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band –including frontman Jon Bon Jovi–participated in the four-part series, which will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the 40-year history of the New Jersey band.
Directed and produced by Gotham Chopra — whose credits include Kobe Bryant’s Muse, Man in the Arena and Tom vs. Time — the story will debut April 26.
“As thrilling as the story of a once-in-a-lifetime talent is, it is even more rare that a legend like Jon Bon Jovi lets the world into his most vulnerable moments while he’s still living them,” a press release from Hulu said.
“Forty years of personal videos, unreleased early demos, original lyrics and never-before-seen photos that chronicle the journey from Jersey Shore clubs to the biggest stages on the planet. The series relives the triumphs and setbacks, greatest hits, biggest disappointments and most public moments of friction.”
It will feature personal videos, early unreleased demos, never-before-seen photos and more. The series will also shine a spotlight on Jon Bon Jovi’s philanthropic work with the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, which addresses homelessness, poverty and food insecurity, as well as JBJ Soul Kitchen, a non-profit community restaurant with four locations in New Jersey, including Red Bank and Toms River.
Bon Jovi, inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2018, has 11 albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 to its credit, including chart-toppers Slippery When Wet, New Jersey, Lost Highway and This House is Not for Sale. The band has also scored four Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s, “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Bad Medicine” and “I’ll Be There for You.”
Jon Bon Jovi will be honored at the annual MusiCares benefit two nights before the Grammys.
