Grenfell: Uncovered OTT Release Date - Netflix is set to release this powerful new documentary on June 20, 2025. This feature-length film explores the tragic events of the Grenfell Tower fire that occurred in London in 2017, aiming to shed light on the circumstances that led to one of the UK's most devastating residential fires. What is Grenfell: Uncovered all about? Produced by Rogan Productions, the documentary offers a comprehensive look at the disaster, featuring interviews with survivors, bereaved families, firefighters, and experts. It examines the decisions and systemic failures that contributed to the fire, highlighting issues such as the use of combustible cladding and inadequate safety measures. Grenfell: Uncovered also includes perspectives from public figures like former Prime Minister Theresa May, who faced criticism for her response to the tragedy. The Grenfell Tower fire occurred on June 14, 2017, in North Kensington, West London.

The fire resulted in 72 deaths and over 70 injuries, marking it as the deadliest structural fire in the UK since World War II. The incident prompted widespread scrutiny of building regulations and fire safety standards across the country. Grenfell: Uncovered aims to provide a platform for survivors, bereaved families and firefighters to share their stories and seek justice. What more real-life tale can you watch on Netflix? While you wait for Grenfell: Uncovered, Netflix offers a wide variety of documentaries, including true crime, nature, sports, culture, and more.

Grenfell survivors and bereaved call for justice in Netflix documentary trailer
Grenfell: Uncovered, which launches on June 20, will aim to share the voices of those impacted by the fire as it examines the chain of events which led to the incident that left 72 people dead in 2017, when the blaze spread via combustible cladding on the west London tower block's exterior. In a trailer for the documentary, one woman can be heard saying: 'We just want justice, why did this have to happen? Why?' A man adds: 'We raised concerns with the council. We were labelled scroungers, we didn't deserve anything, so just shut up.' Elsewhere a voiceover can be heard describing the disaster as a 'huge corporate scandal', while former Conservative prime minister Theresa May remarks that 'sadly companies were able to find a way around the regulations'. Clips of the tower block ablaze are shown in the trailer while one survivor explains she was told to stay inside while the fire was taking hold despite the fact it 'was getting closer', before saying she later 'dashed for the stairwell'. Directed by Olaide Sadiq, who worked as a producer on Netflix's The Final: Attack On Wembley documentary, and produced by Rogan Productions, the documentary will also feature contributions from firefighters, politicians and industry experts. Earlier this month, the Government announced the building's demolition could begin in September, with the decision to remove the tower met with criticism from some of the bereaved and survivors, who felt their views had not been considered. The Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission has been consulting on plans for a permanent memorial in the area of the tower, with recommendations including a 'sacred space' designed to be a 'peaceful place for remembering and reflecting'. In February, it was revealed seven firms, including cladding and insulation companies, criticised in the Grenfell Tower Inquiry final report could be banned from trading, as the Government pledged to bring change in the wake of the fatal fire.

Taking to social media, many people were keen to point out how this is 'much needed' in bringing justice to the victims. Writing on the comments page on YouTube, @hugoriveracn said: 'Justice for the fallen now.' @estherxmed wrote: 'Very tragic event. I remember when this was all over the news. Can't wait to watch this.' @mrscwhite18 also said: 'I remember living in England and this happened absolutely shocked!!' Writing on X, @dannybster added: 'This is much needed!' @fanxyheon also commented: 'Oh I WILL be tuning in. I need every person to get their justice.' However, not all Netflix fans seemed as eager to watch the show, as many claimed it is too painful to even think about. Writing on X, @a_ihateithere said: 'I don't think I can bare to watch this. The trailer alone breaks my heart [sic]'. @nicoleloiseee wrote on Youtube: 'Idk how I feel about this. Like the victims still haven't had justice. If the survivors and families are ok with it and have been involved then I support them but if not then this wouldn't feel right.' Elsewhere in the trailer, former Prime Minister Theresa May makes an appearance to address the failings during the construction of the tower. Another resident also states that they never expected a fire such as this to occur, 'because this is the United Kingdom'. Following lengthy investigations, it was concluded that the Grenfell fire began with a broken refrigerator on the 16th floor. This ignited exposed gas pipes and highly flammable building materials. After the inquiry found all deaths were avoidable, the fire was said to have been the result of a chain of failures by governments, 'dishonest' companies and the fire service, the latter of which failed to implement strategies for tackling fires in high-rise buildings with cladding. Speaking in June 2018, former PM May admitted that her response to the tragedy was 'not good enough'. More Trending She also expressed regret over not meeting with survivors and locals during her first visit to the site. Ahead of the fire's first anniversary, she wrote in the Evening Standard: 'It was a tragedy unparalleled in recent history, and although many people did incredible work during and after the fire, it has long been clear that the initial response was not good enough. 'I include myself in that.' Grenfell: Uncovered will be available to watch on Netflix on June 20. Got a story?
