In a groundbreaking move that is set to thrill rock and gothic music fans worldwide, Netflix has announced the upcoming release of The Time Has Come, a documentary chronicling the legendary career of The Mission and its enigmatic frontman, Wayne Hussey. The documentary will take viewers on a deep dive into the lives of two rock legends—Wayne Hussey and the iconic band he helped shape into one of the most influential gothic rock acts of all time.
A Journey Through Decades of Music and Legacy
The Time Has Come promises an in-depth look at The Mission’s rise from the ashes of The Sisters of Mercy in the mid-1980s, exploring their evolution into a powerhouse band known for their sweeping, cinematic soundscapes and hauntingly poetic lyrics. With classic anthems such as Wasteland, Severina, Tower of Strength, and Deliverance, The Mission carved out a unique space in the post-punk and gothic rock scenes.
The documentary will feature never-before-seen archival footage, exclusive interviews with past and present band members, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of life on the road. Wayne Hussey, whose songwriting and deep, melodic voice have defined the band’s sound, will open up about his personal and musical journey, revealing the highs and lows of fame, internal struggles, and the band’s enduring influence on alternative music.
Special Appearances and Rare Footage
Adding to the excitement, The Time Has Come will also include guest interviews with musicians who were inspired by The Mission, including members of bands like The Cure, Bauhaus, and Fields of the Nephilim. Fans can also expect insight into Hussey’s early years with Dead or Alive and The Sisters of Mercy, providing a full-circle narrative of his storied career.
As anticipation builds, Netflix has teased that the documentary will serve as both a love letter to longtime fans and an eye-opening introduction for new listeners eager to explore The Mission’s gothic legacy.
Set for release later this year, The Time Has Come is poised to be one of the most compelling rock documentaries of the decade. Stay tuned for more details on its official premiere date!
