Netflix is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Kim McAuliffe: Breaking the Chains, a powerful new documentary celebrating the trailblazing career of rock legend Kim McAuliffe. “We are happy to announce that we are done with production and it will be released on October 9, 2026,” Netflix confirmed in a press statement.

 

The film dives deep into McAuliffe’s groundbreaking journey as co-founder and frontwoman of Girlschool, one of the most influential all-female rock bands of the 1980s. With her fierce guitar riffs, rebellious spirit, and relentless determination, McAuliffe broke barriers in the male-dominated world of heavy metal.

 

Featuring rare footage, personal interviews, and insights from fellow rock legends, Breaking the Chains explores not only McAuliffe’s music but also her impact on generations of women in rock. This Netflix Original is a tribute to grit, music, and legacy—premiering globally on October 9, 2026.
