A new documentary about actor and comedian Steve Martin is heading to AppleTV+ this month, and the streaming service has released the first trailer.

STEVE! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces is about one of the most beloved and enigmatic figures in entertainment. 

We dive into his extraordinary story from two distinct points of view, with companion documentaries that feature never-before-seen footage and raw insights into Martin's personal and professional trials and triumphs. "Then" chronicles Martin's early struggles and meteoric rise to revolutionize stand-up before walking away at 35. "Now" focuses on the present day, with Martin in the golden years of his career, retracing the transformation that led to happiness in his art and personal life.

The documentary comes from the Academy Award-winning Morgan Neville, who took home the Oscar in 2014 for his film Twenty Feet from Stardom.

Neville is no stranger to documenting icons, having made Keith Richards: Under the Influence in 2015 and the successful Won't You Be My Neighbor? about beloved children's television star Mister Rogers in 2018.

STEVE! lands on AppleTV+ on March 29.
