Rumors of a new IRON MAIDEN documentary, titled Run to the Hills: The Story of Iron Maiden, being released on Netflix have been making waves online, thrilling fans of the legendary British heavy metal band. Despite the excitement, doubts are growing about the authenticity of the story, as it appears that this could be yet another case of viral misinformation. While the news has been picked up by reputable outlets, its origins on a dubious website raise significant red flags.
The band will be marking their 50th anniversary next year and in addition to their “Run For Your Lives Tour“, they also have planned Netflix documentary scheduled for early 2025 release, as rumors suggests.
The rumor initially surfaced on Sharebaze.com, a website known for spreading fake news. Sharebaze has a history of publishing questionable or outright false stories, and its track record has caused skepticism about the accuracy of the IRON MAIDEN documentary announcement. Moreover, if you go on their website, you’ll find stories like “Iron Maiden Secures $89.6 Million Contract to Become First Music Band to Perform in Space!”, or “James Hetfield Announces Departure from Metallica”.
Despite this, more reputable sites like Nuclear Blast Records and ThePRP picked up the story, lending it a sense of credibility. However, with Sharebaze as the initial source, the story’s legitimacy remains questionable.
Until IRON MAIDEN or Netflix makes an official announcement, the possibility of this documentary remains in doubt. The fact that it first appeared on a website with a history of spreading fake news, along with the silence from both the band and Netflix, suggests that the story is most likely fake.
