“He hit bottom, but he also found himself making some of his most personal music, then relaunched himself for the first time without a mask, as himself”: A new BBC documentary on Bowie’s Berlin years is coming in 2026

David Bowie in Berlin.

There’s another BBC Bowie documentary on the way – but it won’t be on our screens for another year.

It’s called Bowie In Berlin and is due out in autumn 2026, when it will be 50 years since the Thin White Duke, seeking a new career in a new town, relocated from Los Angeles in a bid to kick cocaine and re-route his career.
