The Elite: Army Rangers Docuseries to Debut on Paramount+

Paramount+ has announced The Elite: Army Rangers, a first-of-its-kind docuseries narrated by Academy Award nominee and three-time Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown. The series premieres Tuesday, December 8.

Produced by Skydance Sports Entertainment, NFL Films, and PanCam Pictures, the four-part docuseries delivers an unprecedented look inside U.S. Army Ranger School, one of the world’s most demanding leadership courses.

Over 62 grueling days, a class of soldiers pushes through extreme physical and mental challenges to prove they have what it takes to earn one of the military’s highest honors: the coveted Ranger Tab.

The Elite: Army Rangers follows a class from Day 1 at Fort Benning to the moment each candidate earns the Tab or goes home. Embedded with instructors and students in the field, the series captures the physical demands, mental fatigue and moral clarity forged under extreme conditions.

For the first time ever, viewers will witness the intense deliberations that decide each candidate’s fate. For many, it is the culmination of a lifelong dream and years of dedication to a legacy that honors the bravery of the American men and women who serve our country.

“After 25 years of producing Hard Knocks, NFL Films is no stranger to documenting the trials of individuals pushing through personal limits under great pressure in pursuit of a dream,” said Jodain Massad, Head of Development and Innovation, NFL Films.

Massad added, “We are honored to help show what it takes to join one of the most respected units in the U.S. military.”
