Hulu & Paul McCartney Align for Music Docuseries

Hulu has partnered with Paul McCartney and producer Rick Rubin for the music documentary series McCartney 3,2,1.

Produced by Endeavor Content, the series features intimate and revealing examinations of musical history from McCartney and Rubin, who sit down for an in-depth one-on-one interview. All six episodes of McCartney 3,2,1 will launch on Hulu on Friday, July 16.

In their chat, McCartney talks to Rubin about his groundbreaking work with The Beatles, the 1970s arena rock of Wings and his 50-plus years as a solo artist. The series delves into the songwriting, influences and personal relationships that informed the iconic songs he’s been behind. McCartney 3,2,1 is directed by Zachary Heinzerling and executive produced by McCartney, Rubin, Scott Rodger, Peter Berg, Matthew Goldberg, Brandon Carroll, Jeff Pollack, Frank Marshall and Ryan Suffern, with Leila Mattimore serving as co-executive producer. Endeavor Content serves as the studio, producing alongside MPL Communications Inc., Shangri-La, Film 45, Kennedy Marshall and Diamond Docs.

Craig Erwich, president, Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment, said: “Never before have fans had the opportunity to hear Paul McCartney share, in such expansive, celebratory detail, the experience of creating his life’s work—more than 50 years of culture-defining music. To be an observer as Paul and Rick Rubin deconstruct how some of the biggest hits in music history came to be is truly enlightening. It is an honor that Paul chose to return to Hulu to share this one-of-a-kind series.”
