Beatles’ Anthology Returns on Disney+ With Restored Cut and Unseen Ninth Episode

State-of-the-art restoration delivers clearer pictures plus markedly improved concert audio.

Overview

  • Disney+ has debuted the remastered series with a newly added ninth episode built from previously unreleased 1994–95 reunion footage.
  • Peter Jackson’s restoration technology underpins the visual upgrade, while Giles Martin’s mixes use isolation tools to improve notoriously noisy concert recordings such as Shea Stadium.
  • Episode 9, directed by Oliver Murray, favors personal reflection over strict chronology to present candid moments that humanize McCartney, Harrison, and Starr.
  • Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are credited as producers on the 2025 remaster.
  • Companion releases, including an Anthology 4 album, are praised for presentation yet faulted for offering few genuinely unreleased tracks.
