Overview

• Netflix confirmed a two-hour live special that will follow Alex Honnold’s attempt to free solo Taipei 101, with an early 2026 premiere and the exact date still to be announced.
• Standing 1,667 feet with 101 floors, the Taipei landmark will be the setting for what Netflix executive Brandon Riegg calls a global must‑watch live event.
• Plimsoll Productions (part of ITV Studios) is producing, with Al Berman as showrunner and executive producer, Joe DeMaio directing, and Honnold joining Grant Mansfield, James Smith, Alan Eyres and Jonathan Retseck as executive producers.
• Local outlet TVBS reported a recent supervised practice climb using clips and ropes, with Taipei 101 management implementing safety protocols for that preparation.
• 'Skyscraper Live' extends Netflix’s growing slate of live programming, which has recently featured WWE events, the Paul vs. Tyson and Canelo vs. Crawford boxing cards, and NFL Christmas Day games.
