If you grew up in the ’90s and early 2000s, then you definitely had a favorite boyband. Were you team *NSYNC or Backstreet Boys? Or maybe you loved 98 Degrees, and/or were “MMMBop”-ing along Hanson. Be prepared to go back in time to this golden era of music, because a new documentary called LARGER THAN LIFE: REIGN OF THE BOYBANDS is set to premiere on Paramount+ on November 12th.
LARGER THAN LIFE: REIGN OF THE BOYBANDS takes a deep dive into the evolution of boy bands, going all the way back to the influence of The Beatles, and even touching on the incredible rise of K-pop, while also shining the spotlight on many of our favorite boybands like *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, Hanson, New Edition, New Kids On The Block, and more.
A press release describes the new nostalgic doc as, “an ode to the ones who were tearin’ up our hearts. From The Beatles and The Jackson 5 through New Edition, *NSYNC, New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys, to SEVENTEEN and more, the documentary offers an inside look at the era’s defining boy bands.”
The documentary will feature AJ McLean, Chris Kirkpatrick, Donnie Wahlberg, Donny Osmond, Jeff Timmons, HANSON, Lance Bass, Michael Bivins, Nick Lachey, SEVENTEEN (HOSHI & VERNON) and Tiffany, as they all reflect on their impact and the trajectory of boy band popularity.
