The BBC has announced a new documentary titled ‘Bowie in Berlin,’ set to premiere in fall 2026 on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. Directed by Francis Whately and executive produced by Louis Theroux, the 90-minute film will explore David Bowie’s transformative years in Berlin from 1976 to 1978—a period that produced the acclaimed Berlin Trilogy: ‘Low,’ ‘Heroes,’ and ‘Lodger.’
The documentary will feature archival footage and rare interviews with four women Bowie considered his muses—Clare Shenstone, Romy Haag, Sarah-Rena Hine, and Sydne Rome—each of whom influenced his artistic evolution “into an artist who no longer needed to hide behind characters, but was happy to perform as himself— David Robert Jones,” highlighted the BBC, referring to Bowie’s birth name.
