Paramount+ Announces New Boy Band Documentary

When you hear Paramount+ is planning a new documentary about boy bands, you know New Kids On The Block, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC and 98 Degrees are going to be featured.  You can expect feature interviews with band members, along with archival footage and music from the time.

The director is Tamra Davis, best known for comedies like Billy Madison and Half Baked and a long list of music videos (including Hanson’s “MMMbop.”) Producer Van Toffler spent 28 years as an MTV exec who said: “This music has dominated the charts for decades, but there’s always been a stigma attached.
