The trailer showcases various clips of the band fully embracing the rock 'n roll lifestyle, from reveling in the energy of stadium crowds to autographing fans' chests.

Bon Jovi's Journey Through Adversity

The trailer hints that the series will delve into the band's more somber moments. Drummer Tico Torres opens up about how the band's peak of success led to the demise of his marriage, while Jon remarks that it nearly spelled their downfall. Sambora, who departed the band, expresses that he doesn't regret leaving, but rather regrets the way he handled it.

As the members briefly discussed Sambora's departure from the band, they expressed their determination to persevere—and now, many years later, they remain committed to their musical journey.

Jon's Health and Bon Jovi's Journey

Besides showcasing the band, fans will get to understand Jon's vocal struggles that arose as filming for the docuseries began in February 2022. Jon himself touched on his health during Hulu's panel discussion for the series in late February, revealing his worries about feeling like he was losing his music.

In addition to interviews with past and present band members, Thank You, Goodnight also includes discussions with Bruce Springsteen, John Shanks, Obie O’Brien, Everett Bradley, Doc McGee, and Dorothea Bongiovi.

The four-part series is directed and executive produced by Gotham Chopra. Thank You, Goodnight will premiere in its entirety on Hulu on April 26.
