Depeche Mode’s epic live film M is set to arrive on Netflix later in the first week of January 2026. It was filmed as they played to nearly 200,000 fans over three sold-out nights of their Memento Mori shows in Mexico City. The concert film will be arriving on the streaming giant on Friday (January 9, 2026) and available for those in the US, UK and Europe.
It was conceptualized and directed by award-winning filmmaker Fernando Frias, and looked to both take the audience on a “profound musical journey” and explore how the band’s album of the same name carried a “deep connection to death and mortality in Mexican culture”.
Memento Mori, which was their 15th studio release, marked the first since the tragic passing of synth player and founding member Andy Fletcher, who died back in May 2022. The subsequent tour spanned between 2023 and 2024 and saw the surviving members play to more than 3million fans globally across 112 shows.
M had a premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, and was then screened at over 2,500 cinemas across more than 60 countries in October 2025. It was then given a physical release later that month, and also shared as a live album called Memento Mori: Mexico City.
Fernando Frías de la Parra also explained that the band were like “a religion” in Mexico, saying: “You’ll have people dancing to ‘Enjoy The Silence’ at family parties, and others scouring for it on underground bootleg tapes. There are so many generations who love them and think they’re essential.
