You can see the Anthology 2025 announcement video and full track listing below. The collection is available to preorder in various configurations now.
When Will the Beatles’ ‘Anthology’ Series Be Available to Stream?
The original eight-part Anthology series has been restored and remastered, chronicling the rise of the most successful and culture-defining band in history. The original series will be available to stream exclusively on Disney+ starting on Nov. 26 and will include a brand-new ninth episode, which features previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage of Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr working on the Anthology project in 1994 and 1995.

‘The Beatles Anthology’ Gets a Whole New Disc of Music
The Beatles Anthology will get a musical update as well. The original set of three double albums, remastered by Giles Martin, will be accompanied by Anthology 4, a new disc of 13 previously unreleased demos and session outtakes plus other rare recordings.
Anthology 4 will contain new mixes of the “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love,” which were released as part of the original Anthology, as well as “Now and Then,” the “last Beatles song” released in 2023. The two former tracks have been “given new life,” per a press release, by original producer Jeff Lynne, who used de-mixed John Lennon vocals in the process.

You can presave or preorder the 191-track Anthology now.
