Chaos wore a crown, and absurdity was its court; this was Devo. The trailblazing American new wave band from Akron, Ohio, fused art punk, synth-pop, and biting humor into a cultural spark. Formed in 1973, the Mothersbaugh and Casale brothers, with drummer Alan Myers, brought the quirky theory of de-evolution to life. From anarchic performances to hits like 'Whip It', Devo merged sharp social commentary with wild visuals. And now fans wonder if a Devo documentary is set to be released on Netflix.

With fan curiosity at an all-time high, questions swirl about whether a Devo documentary will hit Netflix, and if not, where fans can watch it in 2025. Here is the full scope.

Devo’s long-awaited documentary will arrive on Netflix on August 19th, 2025, giving fans a front-row seat to the band’s legendary journey. Simply titled Devo and directed by Chris Smith, the film premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. It traces the band’s beginnings, their formation of the “de-evolution” concept after the tragic 1970 Kent State shootings, and their explosive rise with the hit 'Whip It.' Rare archival footage and exclusive interviews make Netflix the ultimate destination to experience Devo.

In the lead-up to Devo’s documentary premiere, the band will launch a bi-weekly series titled Devolutionary Times, featuring high-definition restorations of their iconic music videos. The series kicks off this week with The Truth About De-Evolution, offering fans a visually enhanced glimpse into their early work. On July 18th, it continues with the legendary cover '(I Cannot Get No) Satisfaction,' bringing Devo’s quirky energy and revolutionary style to a new generation of viewers. The next question on everyone’s mind: who is behind the camera shaping this Devo journey?
