Hip Hip Hip; This Is Realistic And Super Cool: Netflix Set to Premiere Documentary Series Focusing on Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson – A Deep Dive into the Life of These Two Rock Band Legends…

Netflix is once again diving headfirst into the world of music documentaries, and this time they’re setting their sights on two rock legends who helped define progressive rock as we know it. In a move that has fans of classic rock buzzing with excitement, the streaming giant has announced a new documentary series centered on none other than Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson—the iconic bassist/vocalist and guitarist of the Canadian rock powerhouse, Rush.

 

Set to premiere later this year, the series promises to offer an intimate, raw, and inspiring look into the lives of these two musical titans. For decades, Lee and Lifeson were two-thirds of Rush, a band whose complex compositions, philosophical lyrics, and jaw-dropping musicianship earned them a permanent place in rock history. With drummer and lyricist Neil Peart tragically passing in 2020, the legacy of Rush has become even more sacred to fans, and this new series feels like both a tribute and a long-overdue spotlight on the remaining members.

 

Titled *Geddy & Alex: Beyond the Lighted Stage* (a nod to the 2010 Rush documentary, *Beyond the Lighted Stage*), the upcoming Netflix series isn’t just a rehash of old tour footage or a highlight reel of hits. Instead, it’s being billed as a character-driven story that explores their friendship, creative synergy, and personal journeys both within and outside the world of Rush.

 

According to early press materials, the series will delve into everything from their early days growing up in Toronto, to their musical inspirations, side projects, and the emotional aftermath of losing their friend and bandmate, Peart. Viewers can expect never-before-seen archival footage, intimate interviews, and appearances from fellow rockers and collaborators who’ve been influenced or impacted by the duo’s decades-long career.

 

Geddy Lee, who recently published a memoir and embarked on a spoken-word tour, will reportedly be front and center in many of the episodes. Fans will get to see his passion for bass playing, his deep love for his family, and his quirky sense of humor—all of which have endeared him to generations of fans. Meanwhile, Alex Lifeson’s journey will explore his own solo ventures, his recovery from health struggles, and his enduring love for guitar innovation.

 

One of the most compelling elements of the series is how it aims to portray their dynamic as lifelong friends. In a music industry often riddled with ego clashes and band breakups, Lee and Lifeson have remained remarkably close over the years. Their story is as much about loyalty, laughter, and resilience as it is about music.

 

For longtime Rush fans, this series will likely feel like a celebration of everything the band stood for—integrity, intelligence, and a refusal to follow the mainstream formula. But even for those unfamiliar with Rush, *Geddy & Alex: Beyond the Lighted Stage* promises to be a powerful look at what it means to create, to evolve, and to grow old with grace while still rocking out.

 

Netflix has not yet confirmed an exact release date, but sources say the series will premiere in the fall of 2025, with a teaser trailer expected this summer. Until then, fans can only speculate—and get ready to cue up their favorite Rush albums.
