NEW ORLEANS โ October 17, 2025 โ In an exciting development for sports and documentary fans alike, Netflix has officially announced an upcoming exclusive documentary centered on the life, career, and legacy of New Orleans Saints star running back Alvin Kamara.
Titled “Kamara: More Than a Game,” the film promises a deep, personal look into the journey of one of the NFL’s most electrifying and enigmatic talents. Set to premiere in early 2026, the documentary will chronicle Kamaraโs rise from humble beginnings in Norcross, Georgia, to becoming a household name and one of the most dynamic players in New Orleans Saints history.
According to Netflix, the project has been in development for over a year and will feature never-before-seen footage from Kamaraโs childhood, college days at Tennessee, and his breakout years in the NFL.
The documentary will also include candid interviews with Kamara, his family, coaches, teammates, and sports journalists, offering a raw and authentic look at the man behind the helmet.
Kamara, known for his unique personality, charitable work, and fearless playing style, has become a symbol of resilience and individuality both on and off the field. Since being drafted by the Saints in the third round in 2017, he has made a significant impact, earning multiple Pro Bowl selections and breaking numerous franchise records. His versatility as a runner, receiver, and playmaker has earned him comparisons to NFL greats, while his off-field endeavorsโsuch as his bike giveaways, holiday toy drives, and social justice workโhave cemented his status as a community hero in New Orleans.
โThis is more than just football,โ Kamara said in a teaser clip released by Netflix. โItโs about staying true to who you are, even when the world tries to write your story for you.โ
The documentary also explores pivotal moments in Kamaraโs life, including overcoming early career setbacks, his controversial suspension in 2023, and his ongoing evolution as both a player and public figure.
Netflix executives have described the film as โgritty, emotional, and inspirational,โ emphasizing its broader themes of identity, mental health, and the pressures of fame.
Saints fans, NFL followers, and documentary enthusiasts are already buzzing about the release. The announcement has ignited excitement across social media, with hashtags like #KamaraDoc and #MoreThanAGame trending within hours of the news.
Produced in collaboration with NFL Films and directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Ezra Holland, Kamara: More Than a Game is expected to set a new benchmark for sports storytelling on Netflix.
The documentary is scheduled to premiere globally in February 2026, just ahead of Super Bowl LX, and will be available exclusively on Netflix.
