MCCARTNEY 3, 2, 1

Producer Rick Rubin interviews Paul on his work with the Beatles, Wings, and as a solo artist in this all new six-episode documentary series “McCartney” that will also include stories about his personal relationships that inspired his songwriting, the first season of which premiered on Friday, July 16, 2021, on Hulu.

SEASON DETAILS:

Paul McCartney sits down for a rare in-depth one on one with Rick Rubin to discuss his groundbreaking work with The Beatles, the emblematic 70s arena-rock of Wings, and his 50 years and counting as a solo artist, in this six-episode series that explores music and creativity in a unique and revelatory manner.

Join Paul and Rick for an intimate conversation about the musicianship, songwriting, ingenuity, influences, and personal relationships that informed the iconic songs that have served as the soundtracks of our lives.

In the first episode, Paul McCartney shares stories from the early days, shedding new light on his relationships with John Lennon and George Harrison.

The show itself is deceptively simple: Two musical legends, Paul McCartney and producer Rick Rubin, have a six-episode conversation about music and creativity. Staged in an empty soundstage, this pair is otherwise surrounded by a skeleton camera crew and the instruments that best show each man’s wizardry. For McCartney, it’s the guitar and the piano, the two simplest ways to convey a handful of the melodies that made him and three other guys from Liverpool the most famous band in history. Rubin’s forte is the mixing board, where with the help of the master tracks of legendary Beatles, Wings, and solo McCartney recordings, he’s able to isolate not only the parts of those songs that stand out to his long-trained ears but those that best illustrate the craft that set his chatting partner ahead of so many of his peers.
