“If I’m a bad guy, then everyone in football is a bad guy.” Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for the next round of documentaries as part of their Untold doc series. This doc offering first launched in 2021, created by Chapman Way & Maclain Way (of Wild Wild Country), telling some of the greatest sports history stories that have never been told before this way (here’s the first trailer for the original 2021 season) The critically acclaimed docu series returns with three new stories for 2024, pulling back the curtain on epic tales from the wide (and wild) world of sports. From the shocking murder of former NFL MVP Steve “Air” McNair to the first ever sit-down with Connor Stalions at the center of the Michigan college football sign-stealing scandal to the story of Hope Solo, a complicated icon of women’s soccer – these new stories go well beyond the headlines and upend what we thought we knew. There’s always way more going on than any of us know! This time the new docs will debut within three weeks – one right after another, starting on August 20th with The Murder of Air McNair first, followed by Sign Stealer, then Hope Solo vs. U.S. Soccer. These docs are so much more interesting than the standard sports biopic docs we usually get. Check out some first look below.
Here’s the first trailer for Netflix’s sports history doc series Untold (2024 Season), direct from YouTube:
Untold returns with three new stories in 2024. Premiering weekly, each character-driven story hinges on candid, intimate first-person accounts from those who lived it – to reveal the grit, resilience, heartbreak, and triumph beneath the sweat. Capturing the excitement of Steve McNair and his Tennessee Titans’ run to the 2000 Super Bowl, and examining unanswered questions surrounding his 2009 murder. Connor Stalions, who gained notoriety in 2023 thanks to his central role in Michigan’s alleged “sign-stealing” scheme, shares his side of the story that turned him into a viral villain and would forever change college football. And after two tumultuous decades in the public eye, U.S. soccer icon Hope Solo unpacks the unique mix of glory and scandal that accompanied her rise to a level of fame that transcended her sport.
Untold (2024) features three new documentaries directed by: Rodney Lucas & Taylor Ward (directing The Murder of Air McNair), Micah Brown (directing Sign Stealer), and Nina Meredith (directing Hope Solo vs. U.S. Soccer).
