WWE: Unreal is stepping out of the ring and onto screens everywhere, as Netflix officially announced its upcoming 10-episode docuseries during WrestleMania weekend, promising an unprecedented look behind the curtain of the most electrifying brand in sports entertainment. Set to premiere in Summer 2025, this series is about to give fans a ringside seat to the drama that unfolds outside the squared circle.
Enter the Writer’s Room
For the first time ever, viewers will get to experience the often-mythologized and rarely seen WWE writer’s room — the creative engine that crafts storylines, shapes rivalries, and balances the line between reality and fantasy each week. According to the official logline, WWE: Unreal takes audiences behind the spectacle, giving intimate access to the writers, producers, and Superstars who define WWE’s storytelling legacy.
“For the first time ever, step into the WWE writer’s room and outside the ring with your favorite WWE Superstars, where the drama is just as intense offstage as it is under the spotlight.”

With ten 50-minute episodes, the series aims to capture both the grueling intensity and the vulnerable humanity of life behind the WWE curtain.
A New Era for WWE on Netflix
The announcement of WWE: Unreal comes as Netflix continues to deepen its relationship with WWE, following the January 2025 launch of live weekly WWE programming on the streaming platform. Netflix is now the official home for Monday Night RAW in the United States, Canada, the UK, and Latin America — marking the first time in the show’s 31-year history that it’s available to stream globally.
But the reach doesn’t stop at RAW. International audiences can now access additional programming including SmackDown, NXT, and marquee live events like WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam through Netflix, ushering in a new golden era for streaming sports entertainment.
Superstars, Storylines, and Surprises
While details remain under wraps about which Superstars will appear, WWE fans can expect a full cast of familiar faces — both current and legendary — as WWE: Unreal unpacks everything from personal feuds to last-minute rewrites, unscripted chaos, and moments where reality hits harder than any steel chair. If WrestleMania was the beginning of a new chapter for WWE’s storytelling legacy, Unreal is the backstory no one ever expected to see.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual viewer, WWE: Unreal is shaping up to be the ultimate binge-worthy look behind the curtain of the world’s most theatrical sport.
