Trailer - Being Eddie - 2025 - Netflix

For the first time, Eddie Murphy is looking back on the extraordinary journey of his career — and looking ahead at what’s still to come.

Being Eddie, a forthcoming documentary premiering on Netflix Nov. 12, chronicles the Oscar-nominated actor’s meteoric rise from teen comic phenom to Saturday Night Live breakout and stand-up supernova to box-office titan. In this intimate portrait, Murphy opens up his home and dives deep into his groundbreaking career of nearly 50 years and counting.

Said director and two-time Oscar winner Angus Wall (The Social Network, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button): “There is no one else like him. Nobody. He’s been famous longer than just about anyone alive, and he’s never lost who he is. He has survived it all with grace. How did he do that? What guides him? We chase all of these questions with him.”
