Apple TV+ will release Mr. Scorsese, a five-part documentary, on October 17. The series gives an intimate look at the legendary director’s life and work. It explores how he built a career that changed modern cinema.
Exploring art and morality
In the trailer, Scorsese reflects on human nature and film. “Are we intrinsically good or evil?” he asks. “This is the struggle, and I struggle with it all the time.” He also explains how he found his own path. “I knew I could express myself with pictures, but I had to find my own way,” he says.
Collaborators share their insights
The series includes interviews with his closest collaborators and friends. Jodie Foster, Spike Lee, Cate Blanchett, and Robert De Niro share stories about working with him. Their voices help show both his artistic growth and his lasting influence on Hollywood.
Director Rebecca Miller, who led the project, praised Scorsese’s openness. She said the experience was “a filmmaker’s dream.” The access gave her rare insight into legends of the industry. She believes the series will connect with both longtime fans and people chasing their own dreams.
Scorsese’s legacy on screen
The release of Mr. Scorsese follows Apple TV+’s recent push to highlight his work. The platform already streams his award-winning film Killers of the Flower Moon. Together, the film and documentary secure his legacy for new audiences while honoring his past achievements.
