But there's a lot more to this story. From executive producers to familiar faces on screen, we break it all down for you.


Release date & time for WWE: Unreal Season 1

WWE: Unreal Season 1 will officially premiere on Monday, July 29, exclusively on Netflix.

The season will feature five episodes, each roughly 50 minutes long. All episodes are expected to go live simultaneously, following Netflix's typical binge-watch format. The timing of the release seems intentional, landing squarely after major WWE summer events, possibly tapping into post-show buzz.

This isn't just another wrestling series. With names like Cody Rhodes, John Cena, Rhea Ripley, and CM Punk involved, it sets the stage for something far deeper than ring entrances and finishes.

Each episode is expected to chronicle how WWE's biggest stories are shaped behind the curtain, and possibly how rivalries are sparked long before Superstars lock eyes in the ring.

By choosing a late July slot, the show positions itself as a bridge between big events like Money in the Bank and the Road to WrestleMania. For fans, that timing couldn't be better.


Streaming info: Where and how to watch WWE: Unreal Season 1?

WWE: Unreal Season 1 will stream exclusively on Netflix, as part of a multi-billion dollar, decade-long deal that started off in January 2025. WWE Raw's move to the platform marked the start of this massive partnership, and WWE: Unreal continues to expand that relationship.

Raw began streaming live every Monday at 8 p.m. ET, bringing in a whole new kind of WWE viewer. Now, WWE: Unreal Season 1 adds another dimension to that experience. The show offers fans an insider's look at what happens before the cameras roll — from storyboards to script changes to last-minute chaos backstage. And that's not just speculation.

Triple H, WWE's Chief Content Officer and one of the most decorated superstars in WWE history, lends his voice as the narrator, pulling viewers right into the action.

Whether you're in Canada, the U.S., the U.K., or Latin America, you'll find WWE: Unreal on your local Netflix library.


More about WWE: Unreal Season 1 — cast, format, and why it matters

WWE: Unreal Season 1 pulls back the curtain in a way that the company has rarely done before. While past shows like Total Divas, Bianca & Montez, and even the original Tough Enough scratched the surface of behind-the-scenes WWE, this one goes deeper.

What makes this different? The focus here is on the creative process—i.e., the brainstorming sessions, debates, and rewrites that fuel weekly episodes of Raw, SmackDown, and NXT.

Expect appearances from major names like Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, Chelsea Green, Xavier Woods, and Jey Uso. But don't expect reality show drama. This is a docu-series: sharp, structured, and loaded with insights.

The series is directed by Chris Weaver and steered by showrunner Erik Powers. Behind the scenes, it boasts a powerhouse production team including Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, and others from Omaha Productions, Skydance Sports, NFL Films, and WWE itself.

Their collective goal? To show the magic behind the madness of how WWE stories are born, evolve, and sometimes implode.


WWE: Unreal Season 1 isn't just for diehard wrestling fans. It's for anyone curious about how entertainment giants script weekly adrenaline. With an all-star cast, a high-caliber production crew, and a rare backstage pass to the WWE writers' room, this is Netflix's latest power play in sports entertainment storytelling.

Mark your calendar for July 29, because this is one docu-series you won't want to miss.
