The trailer for Netflix’s Hitmakers asks what lengths you’d go to to write a number one song. The documentary series dives into the stressful world of songwriters striving to pen a song that hits #1 on the charts.
“Behind every hit song is the person who wrote it. In the new docuseries, Hitmakers, we follow twelve of the industry’s best songwriters and producers as they come together at real high-stakes writing camps to create hits for today’s biggest stars like John Legend, Shaboozey, and Lisa of Blackpink,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “With tensions high and time short, viewers get a front-row seat to the creative chaos, emotional stakes, and personal breakthroughs. This isn’t just about writing music…it’s the journey to becoming a HITMAKER.”
The featured songwriters are Jenna Andrews, Tommy Brown, Trey Campbell, Ferras, Harv, Ben Johnson, Stephen Kirk, JHart, Whitney Phillips, Sevyn Streeter, and Nova Wav.
The six-episode docuseries premieres on Netflix on July 24, 2025. Executive producers include Adam DiVello, Harvey Mason Jr., Britt Burton, Kimberly Goodman, Kristofer Lindquist, Megan Roger, and Skyler Wakil.
