If you’re a fan of documentary films, you couldn’t have asked for a better year for the genre than 2021. From the team behind Free Solo, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin‘s The Rescue gave us the heart-pumping story we all wanted while The First Wave arrived as the first must-watch film about the coronavirus pandemic. And HBO’s Tiger reframed how we view Tiger Woods’s life and career, introducing a new villain to his story.
But worry not, our dear fan of any and all true stories, because we have good news for you: 2022’s slate of documentaries looks equally promising. We’ll see more sports send-ups, with new looks at the careers of soccer legend Neymar and baseball great Derek Jeter on the way. Netflix is back on its true-crime kick in The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman. Plus, we’ve been promised a trove of unseen Kanye West footage in the long-anticipated jeen-yuhs. We won’t keep you waiting. Here are our most anticipated documentaries of 2022.
The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman (January 19)
What’s a list of most anticipated documentaries without Netflix’s latest bizarre true crime story? The streamer’s first big offering of the year is The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman, where the rogue in question is posing as a British spy, stealing money for unsuspecting people.
Neymar: The Perfect Chaos (January 25)
A Neymar documentary featuring interviews with Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and David Beckham? Sounds like the best way to make 2022 the year you finally get into soccer.
We Need to Talk About Cosby (January 30)
Throughout four episodes, director W. Kamau Bell will parse through the life of Bill Cosby, interviewing the comedians he influenced—and the women who filed civil lawsuits against him in the 2010s, citing sexual assault, defamation, and more mistreatment.
Benjamin Franklin (April 4)
Is there a documentary filmmaker more prolific than Ken Burns? (We’ve ranked all of his films here, if you want to get lost in a rabbit hole today.) In April, he turns his eye to founding father Benjamin Franklin.
The Princess (TBA)
Have you had enough Princess Diana content in your life lately? Well the rest of the world hasn’t. The life and times of Princess Diana will get another supposedly fresh look from director Ed Perkins in The Princess, timed to the 25th anniversary of her death.
The Captain (TBA)
ESPN keeps knocking out the all-timers, one by one. Michael Jordan in The Last Dance. Tom Brady in Man in the Arena. In 2022, New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter will get the same highlight-reel treatment in The Captain.
jeen-yuhs (TBA)
What might be the most comprehensive look at rapper-businessman-designer (and much, much more) Ye is called… jeen-yuhs. Like, genius. The film will premiere at Sundance Film Festival before hitting Netflix later this year.
