Spike your mohawk and safety pin your ripped shirts because award-winning fashion designer John Varvatos and music legend Iggy Pop are teaming to bring a bit of rebellion to TV. The pair will serve as executive producers of Punk, a four-part docuseries that has been greenlit by Epix.
Varvatos will partner with filmmaker Derik Murrays Network Entertainment to produce the quintessential story of punk which is currently in production and is set to premiere on Epix on March 11, 2019. Murray will also produce the docuseries which will be directed by Jesse James Miller.
The docuseries will feature original, exclusive interviews with Americas punk pioneers and the U.K.s most notorious bands. In addition to being EP, Iggy Pop will lend his voice to the Punk narrative alongside Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols/Public Image Ltd./PiL), Marky Ramone (Ramones), Debbie Harry and Chris Stein (Blondie), Duff McKagan (Guns N Roses), Wayne Kramer (MC5), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys/Alternative Tentacles), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters), as well as industry legends Danny Fields (Elektra Records), Legs McNeil (Please Kill Me/Punk Magazine), filmmaker Penelope Spheeris (The Decline of Western Civilization, Waynes World) and others.
Viewers will also be treated to rare and unseen photos, gritty archival film and video, a crackling soundtrack of punk hits and misses. Punk will explore the music, the fashion, the art and the DIY attitude of a subculture of self-described misfits and outcasts.
