Set for 2027, John Lennon , Paul McCartney , George Harrison , and Ringo Starr of The Beatles will each get the biopic treatment by award-winning British director Sam Mendes -- best known for his work on American Beauty , the 007 franchise, and much more. According to Deadline , Mendes's series will "tell interconnected stories, one from each band member’s point of view."

Jeff Jones , CEO of The Beatles’ company Apple Corps Ltd. said in a statement they were "delighted" to collaborate with Sam, "to explore each Beatle’s unique story and to bring them together in a suitably captivating and innovative way."

"I’m honored to be telling the story of the greatest Rock band of all time, and excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies,” he added.

These new films, still to be cast, will follow up director Peter Jackson 's 2021 documentary The Beatles: Get Back , an eight-hour film series focused on the sessions surrounding the making of the band's iconic album Let It Be .
