Thescreescore – Eminem’s devoted fans, known as "stans," finally have a confirmed streaming release date for the highly anticipated documentary, Stans. The film, which initially enjoyed a limited theatrical run, will premiere on Paramount+ on August 25, 2025. This news comes as a welcome surprise to those who missed the theatrical release and eagerly await a deeper dive into the complex relationship between Eminem and his most ardent admirers.
Director Steven Leckart, in a statement, highlighted the unique approach taken in crafting the narrative: “‘Stan’ is one of the most unconventional songs ever written, where the story is mostly told from a fan’s perspective, so this film was an incredible opportunity to find a unique approach. We kept coming back to one lyric from the song: ‘I’m just like you.’ Fans who echo that same sentiment carry much of the film. But like the song, Marshall’s perspective was also essential to the movie. I’m grateful for just how candid, sincere, and frequently hilarious he was.”
Stans offers a multifaceted exploration of Eminem’s career, tracing the evolution of his fanbase over the years. The documentary masterfully blends dramatic recreations, archival footage, and insightful interviews, painting a vivid portrait of both the artist and his devoted following. The film’s critical acclaim is undeniable, boasting a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, solidifying its position as a must-see for music enthusiasts and documentary aficionados alike.
