After almost 50 years of making people laugh, Eddie Murphy is finally sharing his story. Netflix has released the trailer for Being Eddie, a new documentary that gives a rare look into the life of one of comedy’s biggest and most private stars. The film premieres November 12, 2025, and it looks like it’s going to show a side of Murphy that fans have never really seen. The documentary is directed by Angus Wall, who won an Oscar for editing The Social Network. It traces Eddie Murphy’s rise from a young stand-up comic to one of the biggest names in entertainment. The trailer highlights the biggest moments in Eddie Murphy’s career, his breakthrough on Saturday Night Live, blockbuster films like Beverly Hills Cop and Coming to America, and his unforgettable role in Shrek. But this time, the story focuses on Eddie himself, not the characters he played.

What stands out most in the trailer is Murphy’s own voice. He talks candidly about the early days of performing in New York clubs, how fame hit him almost overnight, and the pressure of being a young Black man suddenly in charge of the biggest comedy spotlight in America. “My stuff took off because they’d never seen a young Black person take charge,” he says at one point, a line that hits hard because it’s true.

The film also weaves in interviews with a who’s who of comedy: Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Jamie Foxx, and Jerry Seinfeld all share what Murphy meant to them and how he changed the game. From their stories, you get a sense that Eddie isn’t just another successful comedian, he’s the blueprint.

What’s most intriguing is that Being Eddie isn’t just about fame or success. The trailer shows Eddie Murphy opening up his home for the first time, giving viewers a glimpse into his private world. For someone who’s been famous longer than most of his fans have been alive, Murphy has stayed private. This documentary feels like him finally saying, Here’s who I really am.

When Selena appeared, the crew welcomed her by handing her flowers as she made her walk through. The gesture was sweet, unscripted-feeling, and authentic, exactly the kind of moment that social-feeds love. Clips of her reaction showed her delight and perhaps a little surprise, which makes it all the more genuine.

The Spirit Tunnel segment isn’t just about showmanship; it’s about spotlighting the guest and giving them their moment. According to the show’s host Jennifer Hudson, the purpose is “good energy, we just want to celebrate with everybody when you come to the show.”
