Sky Documentaries has revealed plans for 'Boyzone', a three-part documentary series exploring the trials and tribulations of 1990s Irish boy band and pop sensation Boyzone.

Boyzone, Documentary! (2008)

"For the first time in 30 years, band members Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Michael Graham give rare and exclusive access to interviews [..] in which they reveal their personal experiences in a band that has sold over 25 million records worldwide. The boys also speak candidly about how they grappled with the true costs of global fame," Sky said. "They confront the strained relationships and tragic events that have had a lasting impact on all their lives, families and friendships."

“The documentary explores the key events that shaped Boyzone, including the highs and lows of global fame, the intense tabloid interference in Britain in the 1990s that forced Stephen Gately to come out, and after a sensational comeback in 2007, the band was struck by devastating tragedy when Gately died.”

The series is a Curious Films production, commissioned by Sky Documentaries by Poppy Dixon, director of documentaries and factual, and Tom Barry, commissioning editor. Executive producers for Sky are Tom Barry and Hayley Reynolds, acting director of documentaries and factual. The series is directed by Sophie Oliver and executive produced by Dov Freedman and Charlie Russell.
