Netflix announces college football docuseries — but don’t expect a lot of Georgia screen time

Netflix announced Wednesday that it will be releasing an 8-episode series highlighting the Southeastern Conference’s 2024 football season.

The docuseries is being produced by the same company that produced the wildly popular Formula 1: Drive to Survive series.

“This behind-the-scenes docuseries will bring all the drama and pageantry of Southeastern Conference Football to a worldwide Netflix audience,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey told Netflix.

The Athletic reported that Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt opted to participate in the filming, which indicates that Georgia — along with Ole Miss, Missouri, Alabama, Texas and Oklahoma — will not likely be a primary focus.

“When a majority of the member schools indicated an interest in participating, the SEC proceeded with Netflix on production of the series with the understanding that schools can opt in or out of participation in subsequent years,” SEC spokesman Herb Vincent told The Athletic.

No specific release date was announced, however Netflix indicated it will be out in 2025.
