Georgia Bulldogs Opt Out of Netflix’s SEC Documentary Series
In December 2024, Netflix announced plans to release an eight-episode documentary series chronicling the 2024 Southeastern Conference (SEC) football season. The series, set to debut in the summer of 2025, aims to provide “unfiltered access” to coaches and players across the SEC, offering viewers an exclusive look at key matchups throughout the season.
However, the University of Georgia Bulldogs have chosen not to participate in this project. Alongside Georgia, other prominent programs—including Alabama, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, and Texas—have also opted out. This decision means that the Bulldogs will not be featured in the upcoming series.
The documentary series is produced by the same team behind Netflix’s successful sports documentaries, such as “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” and “Full Swing.” Each episode is approximately 45 minutes long, providing an in-depth look at the teams and their journeys throughout the season.
While Georgia’s absence from the series is notable, the documentary will still feature a diverse range of teams, including Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt. This selection ensures that fans will still receive comprehensive coverage of the SEC’s 2024 football season.
For Georgia fans seeking similar content, Netflix offers “Titletown High,” a documentary series set in a Georgia town where football is a central part of the community. The series delves into the lives of high school athletes as they navigate the pressures of sports, relationships, and personal growth.
Additionally, the “SEC Storied” series on ESPN features episodes that highlight significant moments and figures in SEC history, including profiles of legendary players and coaches. One notable episode focuses on Fran Tarkenton, a Georgia and NFL legend, offering insights into his career and impact on the game.
While the upcoming Netflix documentary series will proceed without the participation of the Georgia Bulldogs, fans can look forward to other compelling sports documentaries that capture the spirit and passion of college football.
