‘Who Is Martin Mull?’ is slated to debut October 7 on Netflix.
Bob Saget's final project will finally be released more than four years after his death. The comedian passed away at age 65 in 2022 following accidental head trauma caused by an unwitnessed fall while on a stand-up tour. Now, he will appear posthumously in a Netflix documentary titled Who is Martin Mull? about the late painter and musician. Saget co-directed and executive produced the project.
A trailer for the documentary, available as of October 7, showcases Saget conducting core interviews with Mull, who died in June 2024 at the age of 80.
"I don’t know where to begin because, to me, you truly are a jack-of-all-trades," Saget told Mull at the start of the trailer. Without missing a beat, Mull responded, "Jerk-of-all-trades," earning a belly laugh from Saget.
Saget began working on the documentary about the cult comedian in 2018, with co-director Neil Berkeley taking over after Saget's unexpected death.
"I’m so, so grateful to have been asked... to help complete the work that Bob Saget started back in 2018," Berkeley wrote on Instagram. "And huge thanks to everyone at Netflix for guiding the film to the finish line."
The film will chronicle Mull's wide-ranging career with footage and interviews. "Told in his own words and by the friends who watched it happen, including Steve Martin, Tom Waits, David Alan Grier," among others, according to the trailer.
