Whether you prefer the Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC, Paramount+ has a documentary for you.

Larger Than Life: Reign of the Boybands will premiere on the streaming platform Nov. 12. It details the beginnings of the boyband genre, dating back to The Beatles and the Jackson 5, and follows it through The Osmonds, Hanson, New Kids on the Block, the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC and One Direction to the present day with today’s K-pop superstars.

The doc includes interviews with *NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick and Lance Bass; Backstreet’s AJ McLean; 98 Degrees Jeff Timmons and Nick Lachey; New Edition‘s Michael BivinsDonny Osmond; New KidsDonny Wahlberg; and K-pop group SEVENTEEN.

The doc was produced by Johnny Wright, who, at one time or another, managed New Kids, *NSYNC, Backstreet, Jonas Brothers, Menudo, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, so he had a front row seat to all the mania that surrounded those artists.

Wright is also featured in the trailer, along with fun throwback footage of your faves, back when the biggest problem they faced each day was whether or not their video was slipping down the rankings on TRL.
