Netflix Drops Behind-the-Scenes Documentary on Snoop Dogg’s New Movie Project
Los Angeles, CA – July 2025
Netflix has officially released a new documentary offering fans an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at Snoop Dogg’s latest cinematic venture — a stylish and ambitious film that showcases his evolution as a storyteller and creative force in Hollywood.
Titled “Snoop: Behind the Smoke,” the documentary chronicles the legendary rapper’s hands-on involvement in the making of his new movie, capturing everything from brainstorming sessions and casting calls to music production and final-day shoots. The documentary delivers a raw, unfiltered view of Snoop Dogg as more than just a cultural icon — portraying him as a dedicated director, executive producer, and creative visionary.
“This project means everything to me,” Snoop says in the film. “I’ve always told stories through my music, but this time I wanted to paint pictures with film — something that would speak to the soul, make people think, and still be fly.”
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Tanya Lewis, Behind the Smoke weaves together interviews, fly-on-the-wall footage, and commentary from Snoop’s collaborators, including longtime friends and industry heavyweights like Dr. Dre, Martha Stewart, Kendrick Lamar, and Issa Rae. Their insights shine a light on Snoop’s unique approach to the art of filmmaking — blending music, street culture, and bold visuals into a cinematic statement.
The movie at the heart of the documentary is an urban drama packed with suspense, layered storytelling, and powerful performances. While the plot details have been kept under wraps to avoid spoilers, early buzz suggests the film taps into themes of loyalty, resilience, and the price of ambition — set against the backdrop of a vividly stylized cityscape.
Netflix’s documentary goes beyond just the making of a film; it explores Snoop’s deeper motivation to expand his creative legacy. Viewers will see him mentoring young actors, overseeing the soundtrack, working with costume designers, and even rewriting scenes on the fly to ensure every detail aligns with his vision.
“For Snoop, this wasn’t about vanity or just putting his name on something,” says director Tanya Lewis in the documentary. “It was about building something authentic — a story that reflects where he’s been, what he’s seen, and where he’s going.”
Fans and critics alike have praised the documentary’s honesty and cinematic quality, calling it a must-watch not just for Snoop Dogg fans but for anyone interested in the creative process behind modern film.
Snoop: Behind the Smoke is now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
