Netflix has once again captured the attention of entertainment fans worldwide by confirming the release date for its highly anticipated documentary on Hollywood icon Tom Selleck. Titled “Tom Selleck: The Man Behind the Mustache,” the documentary is set to premiere on September 20, 2025, and fans across the globe are already counting down the days.
The beloved actor, best known for his iconic role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I., and more recently as Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods, will finally have his remarkable life and career chronicled in a deeply personal and revealing documentary.
The documentary will trace Selleck’s life from his humble beginnings in Detroit, Michigan, through his rise to international fame in the 1980s, and into his later years as a respected figure in film and television. With a career spanning over five decades, Tom Selleck has become synonymous with integrity, charm, and the classic Hollywood leading man.
“This is more than just a biography. It’s a celebration of one of America’s most enduring screen legends,” said Netflix executive producer Dana Holloway. “Tom Selleck represents a generation of actors whose impact on both the screen and the culture cannot be overstated.”
The film promises never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews, and intimate insights into Selleck’s personal and professional life. Interviews include conversations with co-stars such as Donnie Wahlberg, Larry Manetti, and Courteney Cox, as well as directors and producers who have worked closely with him over the decades.
The news of the documentary’s release has sparked a flurry of excitement on social media, with fans sharing nostalgic memories and heartfelt tributes. The hashtag #SelleckDoc began trending shortly after Netflix’s announcement.
“He was the man every guy wanted to be, and every woman wanted to be with,” one fan posted on X. “We grew up watching Magnum drive that red Ferrari. This documentary is LONG overdue.”
Donnie Wahlberg, who stars alongside Selleck in Blue Bloods, shared his thoughts in a teaser clip: “Tom is a leader, on-screen and off. He’s guided this cast like a true patriarch. This doc will show the world the heart behind the legend.”
While Selleck’s roles made him a household name, the documentary will also highlight his work off-screen. A proud family man, Selleck famously stepped back from Hollywood at various times to focus on his personal life and his California ranch. His love for the outdoors, privacy, and traditional values has made him one of the most grounded stars in the industry.
“You can’t really understand Tom Selleck until you see the man beyond the roles,” said director Sarah Levinson. “He’s more than just an actor—he’s a father, a husband, a citizen who deeply values honesty and hard work.”
Netflix’s Continued Success with Biographical Docs
Netflix has had recent hits with biographical documentaries such as Arnold, Beckham, and Pamela: A Love Story. With this Tom Selleck production, they continue their trend of honoring iconic figures in popular culture.
“Tom Selleck’s story is an American story—of perseverance, talent, and humility,” said Holloway. “It’s time his journey is told in full.”
“Tom Selleck: The Man Behind the Mustache” will debut on September 20, 2025, exclusively on Netflix. With viewers already buzzing with excitement, the release is expected to draw both longtime fans and a new generation discovering the magic of Selleck for the first time.
So prepare to relive the glory days of Magnum, P.I., dive into the powerful episodes of Blue Bloods, and uncover the story of the man who quietly built a legacy of excellence in Hollywood.
