The film will revisit the performance widely credited with turning the Super Bowl halftime show into a destination for major pop acts. Hulu announced that “Spectacle: Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl” will arrive in February 2027 on Hulu on Disney+ and ESPN.
Variety reports that the documentary follows Jackson as he prepares for the 1993 performance at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl. It will include never-before-seen footage of Jackson and his team, with Bao Nguyen directing and producing after previously helming the music documentary “The Greatest Night in Pop.”
The performance helped establish the modern, star-driven halftime format. Deadline reports that the game’s second half drew more viewers than the first, after a set that included “Billie Jean,” “Black or White” and “We Are the World.” More than 3,000 local children joined Jackson for the latter song.
“Spectacle” is produced by Skydance Sports in association with Optimum Productions and NFL Films. Producers also include representatives from Skydance Sports, Optimum Productions and Into the Deep End Films.
