*NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and the boy band Golden Age are set to be covered in an upcoming Paramount+ documentary.
Deadline reports that the unnamed project will highlight these bands and their impact on pop culture. The outlet stated that 90s and 2000s-era bands would be highlighted, along with their struggles, tears, joys, and triumphs. Additional bands such as New Kids On The Block and 98 Degrees will also be featured in the doc.
Bruce Gilmer, Paramount’s president and chief content officer of music, spoke about the new doc in an official press release. “The ’90s boy band era made an indelible impact and will be forever woven into the pop culture landscape,” Gilmer expressed. “Boy bands remain bonafide global sensations to this day, as seen in the fan frenzy heard around the world during *NSYNC’s on-stage reunion at this year’s VMAs and the ever-spreading domination of K-Pop’s biggest groups like BTS, Stray Kids and TXT.”
“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Van and Gunpowder & Sky, harnessing the magic and nostalgia this Golden Age of boy band culture continues to elicit for the legions of fans across generations and the world.”
The outlet reported that Tamra Davis is set to direct the documentary. Johnny Wright teamed up with Gunpower & Sky CEO Van Toffler to handle the project’s production duties. Toffler offered insight into the project while speaking to the longstanding appeal of boy band mania.
“If you think back to groups like The Jackson 5, who paved the way for boy bands, this music has dominated the charts for decades, but there’s always been a stigma attached,” Toffler explained. “The reality is, these are insanely talented guys who led the requests each week when I was running TRL in the ’90s and early 2000s. And, just when we all think the fervor for boy bands has dissipated, One Direction or BTS emerge, and their disciples like Harry Styles and Justin Timberlake overtake pop culture.”
“The ’90s boy band era was an extraordinary chapter in music where harmonies and beats came together, along with talented vocal artists who captivated the hearts of millions worldwide,” Johnny Wright added. “Their music spoke to the dreams, aspirations, and emotions of the fans, creating a bond that transcended borders and language. To this day, the boy bands continue to inspire, uplift, and unite – reminding us of a great time that will forever hold a special place in our hearts.”
The project currently doesn’t have a title or release date.
