Netflix set to release a documentary on Olivia Rodrigo titled “The Storyteller of the Year Legend” set to premier…
Netflix rumour: “The Storyteller of the Year Legend” — what we found (and what’s actually coming)
A rumour has been circulating that Netflix will release a documentary about Olivia Rodrigo titled “The Storyteller of the Year Legend.” After searching verified outlets, Netflix press pages, and major entertainment media, there is no evidence that a documentary with that title has been announced or is scheduled for release. What is confirmed is Netflix’s concert film from Rodrigo’s GUTS World Tour, which premiered on the streamer in late 2024.
The short version
No reputable outlet or Netflix press release confirms a project called “The Storyteller of the Year Legend.” Searches of trade press, Netflix Tudum, People, Pitchfork and other major sources turned up nothing linking that title to Olivia Rodrigo.
What is real: Netflix released Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour — a concert film directed by James Merryman that premiered on October 29, 2024. That film is widely covered and available on Netflix.
Why the confusion might exist
Olivia Rodrigo is routinely described as a gifted storyteller — Variety named her “Storyteller of the Year” at the 2023 Hitmakers event — and headlines or social posts that call her a “storyteller” could easily be (mis)reframed as a documentary title by fans or social-media accounts. That language, mixed with the publicity around her Netflix concert film, could create the impression that a separate Netflix documentary exists.
What a real Olivia Rodrigo documentary would likely include
If Netflix (or another platform) were to green-light a true documentary rather than a concert film, it would probably follow conventions we’ve seen in modern music docs: intimate interviews, behind-the-scenes studio and tour footage, archival materials tracing her rise (from Disney actor to chart-topping songwriter), and commentary on her cultural impact and songwriting process. Those elements are typical of music documentaries and match Rodrigo’s public profile as a confessional songwriter.
How I checked (sources)
I searched Netflix’s official Tudum/blog and title page, major music and entertainment outlets (Pitchfork, People), and consolidated biographical entries that track Rodrigo’s awards and projects. Those searches consistently show the GUTS World Tour concert film but produce no evidence of a Netflix documentary called “The Storyteller of the Year Legend.”
What I can do next (right now)
If you want, I can write a full news-style article that (a) explains the rumour, (b) confirms the verified Netflix concert film and its release details, and (c) outlines what a legitimate documentary about Rodrigo might cover — all in one polished piece.
Or I can monitor entertainment outlets and Netflix press pages and re-check later today for any new announcements (note: I’ll perform searches now if you ask, but I can’t run background monitoring silently).
