BREAKING NEWS: Netflix Sets Release Date for Los Angeles Dodgers 2024 World Series Documentary
In an announcement that’s already sending waves of excitement through the baseball world and the entertainment industry, Netflix has officially revealed the release date for its upcoming sports documentary chronicling the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2024 World Series triumph. Titled “Blue Reign: The Dodgers’ Road to Glory,” the highly anticipated film will premiere worldwide on August 23, 2025, exclusively on Netflix.
The streaming giant dropped the news via social media and a 90-second teaser trailer that immediately lit up timelines and forums. The documentary will offer an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the Dodgers’ unforgettable 2024 campaign, culminating in their thrilling seven-game victory over the Baltimore Orioles to capture the franchise’s eighth World Series title.
A Story Worth Telling: Inside “Blue Reign”
“Blue Reign” is being produced by the same team behind Netflix’s hit sports docuseries Formula 1: Drive to Survive and Quarterback, promising a cinematic blend of locker room access, game footage, and exclusive player interviews.
The documentary promises to cover:
-
Key clubhouse moments with manager Dave Roberts and veteran leaders like Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and Clayton Kershaw
-
The emergence of rookie phenom Josue De La Cruz, whose late-season heroics turned heads league-wide
-
Heart-stopping playoff moments, including the epic Game 6 walk-off and the tense Game 7 showdown
-
Personal stories from players balancing fame, pressure, and family behind the scenes
According to a Netflix spokesperson, the series will reveal never-before-seen footage and uncensored emotional interviews that show what it really takes to win it all.
“This is more than just a recap. It’s a human story about the drive, the pain, and the brotherhood that made this championship possible,” the spokesperson said.
Dodgers Fans Ready for a Second Celebration
Following the World Series win last October, Dodgers fans flooded Los Angeles streets in celebration. Now, months later, the buzz is back as fans prepare to relive the glory in high definition.
“We celebrated once, but now we get to experience it all over again with a front-row seat to everything we didn’t see on camera,” said lifelong fan Carlos Mejia, who attended Game 5 at Dodger Stadium.
“This documentary is for the fans who lived and breathed every pitch.”
Social media erupted in excitement shortly after the release date was announced. Hashtags like #BlueReignNetflix and #DodgersDynasty began trending on X, formerly Twitter, as fans shared their favorite moments from the season and speculated on what unseen footage might be revealed.
Voices of the Victory
The documentary will feature interviews with:
-
Freddie Freeman, whose consistent performance and emotional leadership anchored the lineup
-
Mookie Betts, the spark plug in the leadoff role who energized the team throughout the season
-
Shohei Ohtani, who made appearances at key moments of the postseason even while recovering from injury
-
Clayton Kershaw, possibly reflecting on what many believe could be his final year in Dodger blue
Insiders say Ohtani’s locker room presence, even while sidelined, will be one of the documentary’s emotional highlights. Ohtani’s reaction to the Game 7 victory, captured on private team cameras, is reportedly “goosebump-inducing.”
Why Netflix? Why Now?
Netflix has leaned heavily into live sports storytelling in recent years, and the success of series like Beckham and Untold has proven that audiences are hungry for real-life drama with athletic stakes. With “Blue Reign,” Netflix adds a baseball crown jewel to its growing library.
“Sports are about heart, conflict, and redemption. The Dodgers’ 2024 season had all of that,” said Daniel Wilkes, executive producer of the documentary.
“This story deserves to be told on the biggest platform in the world.”
What’s Next for the Dodgers?
With Opening Day 2025 just around the corner, the Dodgers aren’t resting on their laurels. Many players featured in the documentary are returning, including Will Smith, Gavin Lux, and Walker Buehler, with a renewed focus on defending their crown.
But until the first pitch of the new season, fans will have August 23 circled on their calendars — a chance to relive the journey that brought the World Series trophy back to Los Angeles.
