GET READY TO ROCK DJ WHEN THE OSCAR(R)-NOMINATED ROBBIE WILLIAMS MUSICAL BIOPIC, "BETTER MAN," PREMIERES EXCLUSIVELY ON PARAMOUNT+ MARCH 11

March 10, 2025 - Today, Paramount+ announced the Academy Award(R)-nominated film, BETTER MAN, will arrive exclusively on the service on March 11 in the U.S. and Canada.*

The most original musical ever made, Better Man is a moving and poignant story about fame, recovery, relationships and redemption. The ultimate antidote to the sanitized biopic genre, this powerful and soul-stirring movie from director Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) will touch your heart, whilst remaining honest and raw to its subject matter: entertainer Robbie Williams. Prepare to laugh, prepare to cry, but most of all prepare to be entertained.

Nominated for Best Visual Effects at the 97th Academy Awards, the critically acclaimed film boasts a Certified FreshTM 88% Rotten Tomatoes(R) score and is Verified Hot with a 90% Popcornmeter. Hailed as "wildly inventive" (Pete Hammond, Deadline) and "jaw-dropping" (Peter Debruge, Variety), BETTER MAN "absolutely sizzles from start to finish" (Perri Nemiroff, Collider), which has led to praise from revered critics at The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, USA Today, The Associated Press, New York Magazine and additional publications.

BETTER MAN joins the medley of musical content available on Paramount+, including musical films such as 2024's MEAN GIRLS, stellar live performances including One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga and The SpongeBob Musical: Live on Stage!, moving biopic series like GEORGE & TAMMY and intriguing documentaries like TOM PETTY: HEARTBREAKERS BEACH PARTY and Alicia Keys' UNCHARTED.

Paramount Pictures, Sina Studios and Facing East Entertainment present BETTER MAN, a Lost Bandits and Footloose production in association with Azure Centrum, Partizan Films, Rocket Science, RPW Productions and Vicscreen. BETTER MAN is written by Simon Gleeson, Oliver Cole and Michael Gracey and produced by Paul Currie, p.g.a., Michael Gracey, p.g.a., Coco Xiaolu Ma, Jules Daly and Craig McMahon.
