Netflix has released the official trailer for Mr. McMahon, the six-episode series premiering on the streaming service on September 25, 2024. Mr. McMahon chronicles the rise and fall of Vince McMahon, the controversial businessman and co-founder of WWE.
From his transformation of the WWE from a small, regional business into a global entertainment powerhouse to the explosive sexual misconduct allegations that led to his eventual resignation, this six-episode series offers a deep dive into McMahon’s life and his enduring franchise.
The docuseries was culled from over 200 hours of interviews with McMahon himself (before his resignation), his family members, business associates, and some of the most iconic names in wrestling history, as well as the journalists who uncovered McMahon’s allegations.
Filmmaker Chris Smith (Tiger King) and executive producer Bill Simmons (30 for 30) present an unflinching, no-holds-barred look at one of the most enigmatic figures in sports entertainment. Also executive-produced by Zara Duffy, the Netflix series was produced by Library Films in association with Ringer Films.
“The goal behind ‘Mr. McMahon’ was to pull back the curtain and reveal the true Vince McMahon, obscured beneath the persona he presented to the world,” said director and executive producer Chris Smith.
“Over the four years of production, the story evolved in truly shocking ways, culminating in some extremely harrowing allegations. The final product is a revealing documentary that we believe offers a rich and nuanced portrait of the man and the complex legacy he left behind.”
