Take That will be hitting Netflix on January 27 in a three-part limited series that takes viewers behind the scenes with all the band members as they share their personal journeys within the group.

The revealing documentary includes unseen footage of how the five-piece band won over millions of fans and dominated the charts, while also dealing with significant heartache.

Offering an intimate perspective, the series chronicles the band's journey from their early days as a five-piece formed in Manchester to their dramatic split, which left millions of fans devastated.

Jason Orange's voice features in the documentary as he explains his decision to permanently leave the band, and makes a frank admission about being advised not to sing.

He was part of Take That from its inception in 1990 until their first major split in 1996, but later rejoined them for their reunion tour in 2005.

He remained with the band until 2014, when he retired from music completely, stating at the time: "I have spent some of the best years of my life with Take That and I'd like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey, including my band mates, who I feel are like brothers to me.

"At the end of The Progress Tour, I began to question whether it might be the right time for me to not continue on with Take That.

"At the start of this year and with my full knowledge and blessing, the guys began writing new material. There have been no fallings out, only a decision on my part that I no longer wish to do this."

Following the band's reunion in 2005, they were temporarily joined once again by Robbie Williams for the 2010 album Progress, after he had left the group in 1995 amid numerous disputes.

When the band initially split in 1996, Orange turned his attention to acting, appearing in the 1998 crime drama series Killer Net.

The year after, he took the leading role in a London stage production of Gob, though his acting career proved to be short-lived.

In July 2025, Orange was photographed in London 11 years after permanently departing the band, and the sighting made headlines as he had maintained a predominantly low-key existence away from public attention.

In the forthcoming documentary, Jason disclosed his delight at being given the opportunity to take centre stage vocally during the band's Circus Tour, having previously been discouraged from singing altogether.

He openly shared: "When I was in Take That the first time around, I was the dancer of the band and I accepted it at the time. I was told not to bother singing, ever. So this time, singing, it's such a pleasure for me to do it."
