BREAKING: Netflix Greenlights 16-Episode Epic on the Untamed Life of Sir Tom Jones
Netflix has just dropped a bombshell that’s electrifying fans around the world: a 16-part limited series bringing the extraordinary life and legacy of Sir Tom Jones to the screen.
This isn’t a polished highlight reel or a nostalgia-soaked tribute. It’s a bold, unvarnished portrait of the man behind the myth — the raw ambition, the overwhelming fame, the temptations, and the thunderous voice that defined an era.
From the coal-streaked streets of Pontypridd, Wales, to the blinding neon glow of Las Vegas, the series traces the rise of a working-class singer who became a global symbol of swagger, desire, and vocal power. Sixteen episodes. One unstoppable force. One Tiger who refused to be caged.
And here’s the twist:
If you think you know Tom Jones — you may want to look away.
Because this series dares to explore the truths fans rarely hear. The cost of fame. The weight of being branded a sex symbol. The struggle to stay grounded while the world demanded excess.
“This isn’t just about sold-out arenas or knickers flying onto the stage,” says Mark Woodward, executive producer of the series alongside his father. “It’s about loyalty, temptation, and the emotional toll of carrying an image that the world creates for you. My father didn’t just live show business — he fought to preserve his soul within it.”
Netflix promises never-before-seen archival footage, deeply personal interviews, and an uncompromising look at how a legend was forged — and nearly consumed — by his own success.
More than a music biography, the series is a human story: of survival, desire, discipline, and a voice that refused to be silenced.
This is not just the story of how Tom Jones became famous.
It’s the story of how he survived becoming a legend. 🎤🔥
