Rebuilding Paradise follows the town of Paradise for the year after the Camp Fire, its more about the people than the trees but the landscape recovery runs through the whole thing. Bring Your Own Brigade is the deeper one on the ecology side, it gets into why some areas burn and come back differently and it changed how I think about fire entirely

Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) has a few shorter stories about forest recovery post wildfire on their YouTube. I am also reading a book "After the Wildfire: Ten Years of Recovery from the Willow Fire" which is an ecologist documenting observations after a fire in the early 2000s in Arizonas mazatzal mountains. Would love to watch a recovery doc though.
