“Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever” Netflix

Netflix – Jan. 1

The latest must-see Netflix documentary centers around Bryan Johnson, a tech millionaire who is on an eternal quest to turn back the clock. Chris Smith, the filmmaker behind “Wham” and an executive producer of “Tiger King,” directs the new film, which Netflix says, “dives deep into his psyche,...

Amy Schumer is back with a new movie, resuming her Netflix relationship despite their disagreements eight years ago when she wanted more than $11 million for a stand-up special. The trailer for Kinda Pregnant has been out for a week but has just 55 thousand views (and 1.7 thousand likes) as of Jan. 13, 2025. That's compared to the more successful trailers for relatively little-known upcoming Netflix titles, like Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever (509 thousand views), Cassandra (138 thousand views), Bandidos Season 2 (208 thousand views), and one of several trailers for Sakamoto Days (3 million views in three days).

Perhaps this has to do with the lengthy history of negativity towards Schumer, for various reasons. She has certainly had a contentious relationship with her audience (who she refuses to be photographed with in most instances), frequently fueled by social media, that great catalyst of catastrophe.

The comments on the trailer for Kinda Pregnant indicate...

Netflix recently dropped a documentary called Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever about Bryan Johnson—the controversial millionaire using his wealth to fight aging. He was once labeled "The Kardashian of Longevity." Interestingly, Bryan had a bizarre "Don't Die" dinner with the Kardashians in 2024.

Present at the dinner were Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and their mother, Kris Jenner. Fans thought it was a random gathering. But when you look at this reality TV family's obsession with looking young and their influence on body trends, it's really not that far from Bryan's multimillion-dollar project. Here's what we've discovered about their intriguing "Don't Die" dinner.

New year, new Netflix. Ok, yes, Netflix releases new shows, movies, specials, and more every month, every week, just about every day, but there are still key changes afoot for the streaming service in 2025, and January features several indicators as to what those changes may mean for subscribers.

For one, live sports isn’t going to wrap after Netflix’s Christmas Day NFL games. Even more important to the streamer’s future than a single day of high ratings — as the NFL certainly provided, not to mention how many new sign-ups the two marquee games inevitably drew — is a week in, week out attraction for dedicated fans. In January, that means “WWE Raw 2025.” Netflix will be airing a new wrestling extravaganza every Monday night throughout the year, with a live broadcast starting at 8 p.m. Et and replays available for anyone who needs to catch up on their own time.

There’s currently no magic routine that will make humans live forever. But for tech millionaire Bryan Johnson, the quest to live longer lies in a routine of pills, shots, blood draws, and experimental therapy regimes he says are rewinding his biological clock. And in Netflix’s new documentary Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants To Live Forever, released Jan. 1, filmmakers bring viewers behind the scenes to discover how much work and cash trying to live forever actually takes. It’s a fascinating attempt to peel back the psyche of...

Bryan Johnson is the subject of the new Netflix documentary Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, and here's what his estimated net worth is, explained. Bryan Johnson is at the center of all kinds of anti-aging and life-expansion techniques, with the documentary covering everything from simple dietary changes to complicated gene therapy technology. These treatments obviously cost a lot of money, but Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever explains that Johnson is rich enough to cover them.

Although Bryan Johnson got his start as a wealthy tech entrepreneur, he quickly became more famous for his role in Project Blueprint, an organization he founded that was designed to reverse his age. In an attempt to reach his goal of having a biological age of eighteen years old again, Bryan Johnson has undertaken a rigorous lifestyle full of all kinds of treatments. Some of the more controversial ones,...

Bryan Johnson is at the center of Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, a Netflix documentary about a man determined to live as long as possible. To do so, Johnson engages in a rigorous routine of controversial health and wellness practices. He wants to not only stop aging but also go back in time to a younger version of himself. Johnson's pursuit might seem impossible, but it's garnered a lot of attention from many people around the world.

Bryan Johnson's health and wellness routine in Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever includes taking 130 pills a day, daily 90-minute workouts, Follistatin gene therapy, weekly MRIs, eating dinner at 11:00 am, going to sleep at 8:30 pm, and plasma exchanges.

According to Variety, the director of Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, Chris Smith, shadowed and filmed Johnson for a year to produce his Netflix health documentary.

Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever is a new Netflix documentary that tells the story of Bryan Johnson, and here's the wealthy entrepreneur's anti-aging Project Blueprint experiment, explained. The all-new Netflix documentary chronicles Bryan Johnson's attempts to extend his life and return to being eighteen years old, with the film highlighting the various routines, medications, and experimental treatments that Johnson undergoes in order to pull this off. Project Blueprint is one of the key elements of Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, and here is everything that there is to know about it.

Bryan Johnson started out as a tech entrepreneur, with him founding Braintree, the incredibly successful company that went on to buy Venmo before being acquired by PayPal. However, Bryan Johnson is no longer most well-known for his companies, with him instead becoming a social media icon for his anti-aging experiments. Johnson...

Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever is Netflix's new documentary film about Bryan Johnson's anti-aging attempts, and here's what the Minicircle gene therapy company actually is. The Netflix documentary film presents the lengths that Bryan Johnson is willing to go in order to reverse his aging and extend his lifespan, with the film delving into all kinds of odd and unique medications and treatments. However, one of the most notable treatments involves the Honduras-based Minicircle company, and here is everything that Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever says about it.

Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever is all about Bryan Johnson, the wealthy tech entrepreneur who has now become more focused on anti-aging and life-expansion technologies. Johnson has gone viral on social media since launching his health organization Project Blueprint in 2021, with his interesting and sometimes controversial methods putting him in the spotlight.

When Chris Smith saw a headline about 47-year-old L.A.-based tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson’s quest to spend $2 million a year to become 18 again, the director knew he’d found the subject of his next documentary. But there was a problem.

“I wrote to (Bryan’s team), and they said I was the sixty-fifth production company/person to reach out to them about doing a doc,” Smith recalls.

Luckily for Smith, known for his zeitgeisty docs including “Fyre” and “Bad Vegan,” Ashlee Vance – the journalist who wrote the Bloomberg article about Johnson that turned him into a worldwide sensation – was a fan. Vance encouraged Johnson to partner with the director.

For 12 months, Smith followed the tech entrepreneur on his crusade to avoid death. The result is the Netflix docu “Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever,” about the controversial wellness practices Johnson uses to not only defy...

Historically, the pursuit of immortality has been one of the classic objectives of human civilization. At some point in our lives, the thought of cheating death, evading the dread of mortality, has come across our minds, at least if not from a personal drive to live longer, then out of concerns for the ones we care for and love. People have gone to remarkable, and occasionally odd, lengths in their efforts to stop the ever-flowing ravages of time, and Netflix’s latest documentary, Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants To Live Forever, which revolves around millionaire entrepreneur Bryan Johnson’s attempt to reverse the aging process, is a testament to that. While viewers might initially feel themselves quick to pass the judgment that the documentary is just another expert marketing of a rich lifestyle, which is a stark reminder of the existing class divide, I can assure you there are...

Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever is Netflix's new documentary about social media sensation Bryan Johnson, and here are the 10 biggest reveals from the new film. Bryan Johnson is a wealthy entrepreneur and tech CEO who has also become obsessed with anti-aging technology, with him claiming that he wants to be eighteen years old again. Director Chris Smith uses Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever to explore how Bryan Johnson is working on achieving this goal, with the film diving into the various methods and experimental medical treatments that Johnson uses.

Bryan Johnson is the founder of Braintree, Kernel, and a plethora of other businesses and startups, but this isn't what he is most famous for. Instead, Johnson went viral on social media for his anti-aging and life expansion attempts, with him starting an organization called Project Blueprint in order to achieve this goal.

To kick off 2025, Netflix has added a new slate of films to its streaming library, highlighted by Dune: Part Two. Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi blockbuster, which Consequence named the fourth best film of 2024, is streaming on the service as of January 1st.

Netflix knew what it was doing when it slotted Chris Smith’s new documentary “Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever” to release on Jan. 1. We want to start the new year working towards “better” versions of ourselves, and that usually means starting a new health regimen regarding diet and exercise. But before we eat a salad and hit the gym, perhaps we want to check in on Bryan Johnson, the wealthy entrepreneur who has turned himself into a guinea pig in his quest to live forever. Is he the picture of health or is there something a little sadder and lonelier beneath the washboard abs?

To Smith’s credit, he doesn’t dismiss his subject as an outright kook even as Johnson goes through the rigorous amount of pills, tests, procedures and other routines in his quest to slow and reverse the aging process. There’s a...

Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever (2025) Documentary Plot Summary & Movie Synopsis:

Born from the mind of Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, deadpan queen Diane Morgan stars once more as Cunk in Cunk on Life, a follow-up mockumentary series to Cunk on Earth and Cunk on Britain. In Cunk on Life, once again Cunk asks absurdist, baffling and genuinely hilarious questions about the...

If given the chance, would you want to live forever? For tech millionaire Bryan Johnson, the question isn’t rhetorical. It’s a scientific experiment he conducts on a daily basis — with himself as the test subject.

From director Chris Smith, Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever goes behind the headlines surrounding Johnson’s antiaging crusade. It dives deep into his psyche, revealing the drastic shifts that took the entrepreneur from his own personal struggles to dedicating his time and energy — and a considerable amount of his fortune — to living long beyond even the most ambitious human life expectancy.

It’s possible that you may already be familiar with Johnson, as he’s been the subject of a number of articles in recent years that have gone viral. “The things I do lend themselves to great headlines and people forming certain conclusions,” Johnson tells Tudum. “I think...
