Sky released a trailer for Boyzone’s new documentary, No Matter What, which is slated to air in early 2025.
In the clip, Ronan says: “I think, you know, after thirty years, now is the time to talk about it.”

The three-part series will detail the rise of the boyband in 1993, the tabloid intrusion that forced Stephen Gately to come out as gay, and their huge comeback in 2007.
For the first time in 30 years, Boyzone band members Ronan, Keith, Shane, and Mikey open up in exclusive interviews, sharing their personal journeys and the true cost of fame.
Featuring never-before-seen archive footage, raw insights, and emotional reflections —including contributions from the late Stephen Gately’s sister and former partner — this series explores the meteoric rise, challenges, and enduring legacy, of one of the most beloved Irish boy bands.
Announcing the series, Sky said earlier this year: "The year is 1993. The UK and Ireland are swept up in electrifying boy band mania.
"Across Dublin's clubs, bars, and schools, a feverish hunt begins, to find the next musical sensation.
"In the era before TV talent shows ruled, hundreds vied for stardom, but only five working-class Dubliners would have the luck to be plucked from obscurity and be thrust into the global spotlight.
"It's here, we begin our story.
"For the first time in 30 years, band members Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch, and Michael Graham grant rare and exclusive interview access for this three-part Sky documentary series Boyzone (w/t).
"Revealing their personal experiences in a band that sold over 25 million records worldwide, the boys also talk candidly about how they grappled with the true cost of global fame.
"And to try and help close a chapter in their lives, they confront the strained relationships and tragic events that have had a lasting impact on all their lives, families, and friendships.
"The Sky Original series, produced by Curious Films, includes contributions from the late Stephen Gately's sister, Michelle, his former-partner and pop star Eloy De Jong, and their estranged manager Louis Walsh, as well as never-been-seen archive footage from the group's early career.
"With raw and candid honesty, the documentary examines the key events that shaped Boyzone, including the highs and lows of global stardom, the intense tabloid intrusion in 90s Britain forcing Stephen Gately to come out, and after a sensational comeback in 2007, a devastating tragedy struck the band, as Stephen died - a loss the remaining band members have never fully overcome."
Hayley Reynolds, Acting Director of Documentaries and Factual at Sky, said: "Boyzone's music has touched millions over the last 30 years, and Sky is thrilled to be bringing this exclusive new series to our customers in the UK and Ireland.
"Curious Films' pedigree for sophisticated and intelligent storytelling, as well as deep, privileged access to both the band and Louis Walsh, promises to get under the skin of their extraordinary story with an unrivalled level of insight."
Dov Freedman, Executive Producer and CEO of Curious Films, said: "We couldn't be prouder that Ronan, Keith, Shane, and Mikey have allowed us to definitively tell their story after almost 30 years in Curious's debut commission for Sky.
"I think the candid interviews from all the key players in the Boyzone story really sets this series apart as something very special."
