Bon Jovi Ready to Rock With Four-Part Hulu Documentary: First Look

Woah, we’re halfway there! Bon Jovi is the subject of a new deep-dive documentary, a four-part docuseries which drops next month on Hulu.

Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story chronicles the band’s epic, four-decade career, a journey that began on Jersey Shore Clubs and reached rock music’s zenith.

With 1986’s third studio album Slippery When Wet, Jon Bon Jovi and Co. dominated sales charts around the globe, and unleashed a stream of hits, including the Billboard Hot 100 leaders “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Livin’ On A Prayer”.

Slippery When Wet is the first of the band’s six leaders on the Billboard 200, an album that ignited a global fanbase and ensured the New Jersey favorites would play arenas and stadiums for as long as they remained active.

It hasn’t all been a bed of roses. The ride has been stacked with triumphs and setbacks, good times and bad, and “public moments of friction,” all of which are said to be captured in the series — the first trailer for which arrives today.

All episodes will arrive for streaming April 26, 2024, retelling the Bon Jovi story with personal videos, unreleased early demos, original lyrics, and never-before-seen photos, according to reps from Hulu.

The series joins the band in February 2022, an uncertain moment in their odyssey, several years after their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, a decade following the departure of longtime guitarist and co-songwriter Richie Sambora, and with its leader battling a vocal injury which required major reconstructive surgery.

The singer “lets the world into his most vulnerable moments,” reads a statement, “while he’s still living them.”

Fellow Jersey legend Bruce Springsteen appears in the doc alongside members of the band, longtime manager Doc McGee and others.

Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story is directed and executive produced by Gotham Chopra (“Kobe Bryant’s Muse,” “Man in the Arena,” “Tom vs. Time”). Executive producers are Giselle Parets and Ameeth Sankaran for ROS, and the series is produced and edited by Alex Trudeau Viriato.
