Authorized Johnny Hallyday Docuseries in the Works From 1,000 Hours of Unseen Footage

The longtime collaborator behind the project plans a career portrait narrated by Hallyday’s own voice.

Overview

  • Director Michel Jankielewicz announced the multi-episode series on September 25, drawing on decades of personal filming with the singer.
  • Laeticia Hallyday has approved the project, and existing recordings will supply the narration in Johnny Hallyday’s voice.
  • The series is positioned as a career-focused account rather than a look at the star’s private life.
  • Production partners 3W and 2P2L are attached, and the archive includes rehearsals with Charles Aznavour, a video shoot in Spain with Eddy Mitchell, and concerts in La Réunion, Québec and Lebanon.
  • A broadcaster has not been secured, and a late‑2027 release is envisaged to align with the tenth anniversary of Hallyday’s death as a separate biopic is also planned for that period.
