🔥 BREAKING: 49ers Legend Joe Montana Signs $13.5 Million Netflix Deal for 7-Episode Series That Will Redefine Sports Documentaries

San Francisco, CA – June 20, 2025 — In a move that has fans buzzing across the football world, NFL Hall of Famer and San Francisco 49ers legend Joe Montana has signed an exclusive $13.5 million deal with Netflix to produce a 7-episode docu-series that will chronicle his iconic journey with the 49ers — and it’s already being hailed as “the definitive story of greatness”.

“This is more than a documentary,” said Montana.
“It’s about the blood, the battles, and the brotherhood that built the 49ers dynasty.”

🎬 A Legacy Like No Other, Now Streaming Worldwide

The series, titled “Montana: The Golden Standard,” will take viewers deep into the glory years of 49ers football, including:

• His legendary partnership with Jerry Rice

• Behind-the-scenes access to four Super Bowl victories

• The infamous “The Catch” moment in 1981

• Personal struggles, leadership under pressure, and his post-retirement reflections

But this won’t be your typical sports documentary.

Sources close to Netflix insiders confirm it will include re-enacted scenes, never-before-seen locker room footage, personal family interviews, and raw emotional moments that will redefine what it means to tell a sports story.

🗣️ Fans and NFL Stars React

The announcement sent shockwaves through NFL circles and ignited a firestorm of excitement on social media.

• @49ersFaithful: “This is our MJ’s ‘The Last Dance.’ Can’t wait!”

• Patrick Mahomes: “Joe Montana = Legend. This is must-watch content.”

• Tom Brady: “Joe inspired a generation. He’s why I wore #16 growing up.”

Even longtime rivals from the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants posted congratulatory messages, recognizing Montana as one of the most respected figures in football history.

🏆 Netflix’s Bold Bet on NFL Storytelling

This marks one of the largest single-athlete documentary deals in Netflix history. With the success of titles like Quarterback and The Last Dance, Netflix is making clear that the next frontier is deep storytelling about football icons.

“We knew Joe Montana’s story had to be told — and told right,” said a Netflix executive.
“This isn’t just for football fans. It’s for anyone who believes in grit, glory, and greatness.”

The series will also feature exclusive commentary from legends like Bill Walsh (archival), Steve Young, Ronnie Lott, and even rival quarterbacks like Dan Marino and John Elway.

🧠 The Man Behind the Myth

Though Montana’s legacy on the field is undisputed, the series promises to show a side of Joe fans have never seen: his childhood in Pennsylvania, the intense pressure of being a franchise savior, his injuries, and his final seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, where his humility and sportsmanship cemented his status as not just a champion, but a class act.

Montana himself has described the project as a “healing experience” — a chance to reflect on the battles won, the scars left behind, and the lessons learned.
