REVEALED: Netflix Releases “The Underdog”, A Highly Anticipated Documentary on Julian Edelman’s Super Bowl LIII MVP Triumph

Netflix has officially announced The Underdog, a brand-new sports documentary centered around former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman. Set for release on April 15, 2025, the film explores Edelman’s unlikely rise from a late-round draft pick to one of the NFL’s most clutch postseason performers, culminating in his MVP-winning performance at Super Bowl LIII.

Produced by Coast Productions, The Underdog promises a deep dive into Edelman’s early struggles, his transition from college quarterback at Kent State to NFL wide receiver, and his critical role in the Patriots’ dynasty. The documentary features exclusive interviews with Edelman himself, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, quarterback Tom Brady, and close friends such as actor Mark Wahlberg and rapper Snoop Dogg.

The Underdog also offers behind-the-scenes footage from Edelman’s grueling recovery from a torn ACL in 2017, leading up to his historic Super Bowl LIII performance where he recorded 10 receptions for 141 yards against the Los Angeles Rams — earning MVP honors and cementing his legacy.

Fans and critics alike are calling The Underdog one of Netflix’s most anticipated sports releases of 2025. With themes of resilience, doubt, and triumph, the documentary is set to inspire audiences far beyond the world of football.

The Underdog premieres globally on Netflix April 15, 2025.
