The Biggest Release of the Year: Netflix Announces Groundbreaking Documentary on Legendary Punk Rock Band The Offspring — Premiering July 20, 2025
In what promises to be one of the most explosive music documentaries of the decade, Netflix has officially announced the release of its long-awaited historical documentary on iconic punk rock band The Offspring. Titled “Smash & Beyond”, the film will trace the band’s gritty rise from underground garage gigs in Southern California to dominating global charts and defining an entire era of punk music. The premiere is now scheduled for July 20, 2025.
Formed in 1984, The Offspring revolutionized the punk rock scene with anthems like “Come Out and Play,” “Self Esteem,” and “The Kids Aren’t Alright.” Known for their raw energy, rebellious lyrics, and electrifying live performances, the band became one of the best-selling punk acts of all time — selling over 40 million albums worldwide.
This new Netflix documentary will feature never-before-seen archival footage, rare backstage moments, and exclusive interviews with band members, including frontman Dexter Holland and guitarist Noodles. It will explore their early struggles, explosive success following the release of Smash in 1994, and how they navigated fame while staying true to their punk roots.
The film will also highlight the band’s influence on modern rock, their outspoken views on politics and society, and their evolution over four decades of music-making. Fans and music historians alike will gain a deeper understanding of the band’s legacy and impact on a generation.
“Smash & Beyond” is more than a music documentary — it’s a tribute to the defiant spirit of punk rock and a celebration of a band that refused to conform. Mark your calendars: July 20, 2025, will be a milestone in music
