Netflix has just dropped a bombshell for football fans, announcing an upcoming exclusive documentary series that will dive deep into the life and legacy of the Kansas City Chiefs, one of the NFL’s most iconic franchises. Set to premiere in late 2025, the multi-part docuseries promises an unprecedented look at the Chiefs’ storied 65-year history, their modern-day dynasty, and the vibrant culture of Chiefs Kingdom, all while chronicling their 2024 season with exclusive behind-the-scenes access.

Produced in collaboration with NFL Films, 2PM Productions (owned by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes), and other industry heavyweights, the series aims to go beyond the gridiron, blending emotional storytelling with rare archival footage. According to Netflix, viewers can expect intimate interviews with key figures like Mahomes, head coach Andy Reid, and other players, coaches, and executives, offering insights into the highs and lows of building a championship team. The documentary will trace the franchise’s journey from its founding by Lamar Hunt in Dallas as the Texans in 1960 to its current status as a global phenomenon, spotlighting pivotal moments like their three Super Bowl victories in the last six years.
“Chiefs fans are some of the most passionate in sports, and this series will give them a front-row seat to the heart and soul of the franchise,” said a Netflix spokesperson. The project is expected to explore the emotional weight of the 2024 season, including the team’s response to their Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles (40-22), as well as personal stories of players balancing fame and family. While there’s speculation about appearances from high-profile figures like Taylor Swift, given her connection to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Netflix has yet to confirm such details.
The announcement comes on the heels of Netflix’s successful sports docuseries like Quarterback (2023), which featured Mahomes and was praised for its raw look at the NFL’s toughest position. With the Chiefs’ global fanbase and their recent dominance—bolstered by Mahomes’ record-breaking $450 million contract and Reid’s strategic brilliance—this documentary is poised to be a cultural event. As Chiefs Kingdom awaits the premiere, the series promises to celebrate the team’s legacy while revealing untold stories that shaped their path to greatness.
