Breaking: The Time has Come – Netflix Set to Release Documentary Focusing on Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies: A Deep Dive into the Lives of Two Rock Band Legends…

 

In a surprising and exciting announcement for music lovers around the world, Netflix has revealed plans to release a new documentary spotlighting the dynamic and sometimes tumultuous journey of Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies—the legendary duo behind the iconic progressive rock band, Supertramp. Titled *“Give a Little Bit: The Story of Hodgson & Davies,”* the film promises an intimate, never-before-seen look into the lives, music, and creative relationship of two of rock’s most enigmatic figures.

 

The documentary, set to premiere globally this fall, is expected to chart the early days of Supertramp, the band’s meteoric rise in the 1970s and 80s, and the complex artistic partnership that defined much of their sound. While the band’s hits like “The Logical Song,” “Breakfast in America,” and “Dreamer” remain etched into the collective memory of fans worldwide, the personal stories behind those songs—and the men who wrote them—have largely remained a mystery.

 

For the first time, Hodgson and Davies have agreed to open up about their creative differences, their shared passion for pushing musical boundaries, and the decisions that ultimately led to Hodgson’s departure from the band in 1983. With exclusive interviews, never-before-seen archival footage, and commentary from former bandmates, producers, and fellow musicians, the film aims to do more than just tell the story of Supertramp—it seeks to explore the emotional and psychological journey of two men who defined a generation.

 

Directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Laura Kendrick, the project has been in development for nearly three years. “What fascinated me about Roger and Rick was the duality—how two completely different personalities could come together to create something so timeless,” Kendrick said in a statement. “This documentary isn’t just about music. It’s about identity, friendship, and the cost of creative brilliance.”

 

Fans can expect to see rare concert footage from the band’s peak years, personal home videos, and behind-the-scenes looks at the making of some of their biggest albums, including *Crime of the Century* and *Even in the Quietest Moments…* Interviews with close friends and music historians also shed light on how the duo’s partnership influenced not just their own work, but the progressive rock scene as a whole.

 

Though speculation has persisted for years about a possible reunion, the documentary does not shy away from addressing the long-standing estrangement between Hodgson and Davies. However, both musicians participated separately in the film, offering candid reflections that fans will find both heartbreaking and hopeful.

 

As streaming platforms continue to invest in deep, artist-focused storytelling, *“Give a Little Bit”* is poised to become a defining entry in the genre. For fans of Supertramp, music historians, and lovers of rock documentaries alike, this is one story that’s been long overdue—and now, the time has finally come.
