Netflix's SEC Football series featuring Kentucky will come out next summer

You may recall that Kentucky was one of several SEC schools Netflix chose to feature in its new docuseries about SEC football. Film crews were in town throughout the season to document Mark Stoops’ squad, specifically the weeks of the South Carolina and Louisville games. We now have a few more details about the series, including when it will be released.

This morning, Netflix announced the show, which will provide “unfiltered access to coaches and players in college football’s most dominant conference and give an exclusive look at key matchups throughout the season.” The series is produced by Box To Box Films, the same company behind Sprint, Full Swing, Formula 1: Drive to Survive, and Break Point. There will be eight, 45-minute episodes, which will be released in Summer 2025.

According to the official release, the series will “bring viewers everywhere from the field and the locker rooms to the team buses, barbershops, and more.” It is executive produced by James Gay-Rees, Paul Martin, and Hillary Olsen for Box to Box, with showrunner Collin Orcutt.

“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.

As mentioned, we know that crews were in town for the South Carolina and Louisville games. Both losses were embarrassing, the latter serving as salt in the wound of a very disappointing season. We don’t know which other SEC schools were featured, but hopefully, one of them is Ole Miss, which could give us at least one happy moment to look back on if crews were in Oxford for Kentucky’s lone SEC win.

Regardless, we’ll be watching next summer.

UPDATE: Ole Miss is one of the five SEC schools NOT participating, so there goes our shot at possibly seeing the Cats get their lone SEC win of the season.
