“It’s a very sacred thing to carry someone’s legacy.” HBO has revealed an official trailer for a documentary titled Band of Brothers: Legacy, streaming this week on HBO Max to watch. Originally titled D-Day to Today: A Band of Brothers Legacy, the doc is a tribute to and look back at the iconic WWII series “Band of Brothers” which originally debuted in September 2001 (yep). Regarded as one of the best WWII stories ever told, it’s celebrating the 25th anniversary this year. The documentary chronicles the insights from those who made the series & those who were inspired by it about why the show resonated so strongly at a moment when the world needed heroes. Follow along as actors from the series retrace the footsteps of the Soldiers of Easy Company from its beginnings at Camp Toccoa, Georgia to Normandy as they jump to commemorate D-Day and then travel to meet today’s Easy Company Soldiers at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Tom Hanks & his company made the follow-up “Masters of the Air” series a few years ago, along with “The Pacific” series back in 2010, but neither are as extraordinary as the original “Brothers” (both are good though). Definitely one of the best HBO series ever! Something good to watch any time if you’ve never seen it, or need a rewatch now.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for HBO’s doc Band of Brothers: Legacy, from YouTube:
“The brotherhood continues.” This new tribute to the groundbreaking series that helped preserve the story of Easy Company and deepened public appreciation for the sacrifices of the Greatest Generation features new interviews with cast members Damian Lewis, Ron Livingston, Michael Cudlitz, Capt.

Through personal reflections and behind-the-scenes stories, participants revisit the experience of making the series and explore its lasting cultural resonance, and also includes never-before-seen archival footage and photographs of Easy Company and World War II.
