Trailer Drop · Official Trailer · 12 November 2026
Netflix has released the official trailer for Jean-Michel Basquiat, a documentary that sets out to reclaim the story of the artist behind a now global reputation. It arrives on Netflix on Friday 11 December 2026.
The Man Behind the Myth
The film uses untold memories from Basquiat’s family, never-before-seen work and rare archive to cut through the myth and look again at the man himself. Netflix describes it as a reclamation of what has been lost in his legacy.
It is a separate project from the forthcoming biopic Jean, in which Kid Cudi is set to write, direct and star as Basquiat — a film already noted in our earlier news coverage.
