The streaming giant confirmed the series, titled The Tupac Tapes with Angie Martinez, will premiere on November 27, 2026.

The series will give viewers access to recordings that have never been broadcast, alongside Martinez's own account of why she made the decision to stay silent for three decades.
Tupac was shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later at the age of 25.
The interview Martinez conducted in the weeks before his death has long been rumoured within hip-hop circles, making the announcement of its release a significant moment for fans of the late rapper and for the broader culture.
The four-episode series arrives more than 30 years after one of music's most discussed and debated deaths, promising to add new layers to a story the world has never stopped trying to understand.
