WWE & Netflix to produce behind-the-scenes documentary series

WWE and Netflix’s partnership is set to include a behind-the-scenes documentary series.

WWE president Nick Khan announced Thursday at the Next Level Sports conference at USC in California that in addition to WWE moving its flagship Raw show to Netflix in January, that the companies will also team up to produce a behind-the-scenes documentary series similar to the acclaimed Formula 1: Drive to Survive series produced by the streaming giant.

Bloomberg was first to report on the new series.

The announcement comes just weeks after the Bill Simmons and Netflix-produced Mr. McMahon documentary debuted on the streaming service.

WWE and Netflix agreed to a 5-year deal in January 2024 with options that could extend the agreement for as long as 20 years to air Raw beginning in January 2025. WWE will rake in an average of $500 million annually from the Netflix deal.

Additionally, as WWE international TV deals expire, Netflix is expected to carry WWE programming in those markets.
