Netflix is developing Daejon Love documentary with a perfect title

The inevitable is happening. The tale of alleged fraudster Daejon Love is getting its streaming treatment.

On Wednesday, streaming giant Netflix announced, via its official companion site Tudum,  that it will release an “Untold” documentary featuring the viral story of Love’s fraudulent life.

The documentary also has a seemingly perfect title: “Untold: Wide Deceiver.”

The premiere date of Untold: Wide Deceiver hasn’t been announced yet.

Love captured everyone’s attention just before the start of the 2026 NFL season when he was arrested along with a co-conspirator and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud.

Posing as a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, Love allegedly scammed 26 women out of $1.3 million. But 35 more women have also come forward since, all claiming they were ripped off by Love.

Videos and photos of Love as a fake NFL wideout quickly spread on social media after his arrest, becoming a rich source of content for meme culture. But whether that level of notoriety will translate into a streaming hit is something Netflix is about to find out.

As for the real 49ers, they are proving every week that they’re contenders, not pretenders. 

San Francisco is undefeated through five weeks and is coming off a statement 32-29 victory over the reigning Super Bowl champions and NFC West rivals Seattle Seahawks in Week 5.
