On September 10, 2025, Netflix will premiere aka Charlie Sheen, a two-part documentary that dives deep into the tumultuous life of one of Hollywood’s most controversial figures. Directed by Andrew Renzi, known for Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?, the film promises an unfiltered look at Charlie Sheen’s meteoric rise to fame, his public struggles, and his path to sobriety after seven years of being clean.
The documentary features candid interviews with Sheen himself, alongside family, friends, and Hollywood insiders like Denise Richards, Jon Cryer, Sean Penn, and even his former drug dealer, Marco. It traces Sheen’s journey from his Malibu upbringing to becoming the highest-paid TV actor on Two and a Half Men, through the chaotic scandals that defined his public persona. With humor and heartbreak, Sheen reflects on his past missteps and the lessons learned, offering a rare glimpse into his life with newfound clarity.
Renzi spent months earning Sheen’s trust to ensure the film is no mere puff piece but a raw, honest portrayal. “This is not a comeback. It’s a revelation,” Netflix’s tagline declares, setting the stage for a story of survival under Hollywood’s brightest and darkest lights. The documentary’s release coincides with Sheen’s memoir, The Book of Sheen, hitting shelves on September 9, making this a pivotal moment for the actor to tell his story on his own terms.
