COWBOYS PROUD: Netflix Releases “Dallas: The Forgotten Diamond Legacy,” a Highly Anticipated Documentary About the Dallas Cowboys – A Deep Dive into Football History, Slated for Release on June 23
Dallas, May 2025 — Netflix is once again stepping into the sports documentary arena, and this time it’s going straight to the heart of Texas. The streaming giant has just dropped the official trailer for its newest original documentary, titled: “Dallas: The Forgotten Diamond Legacy.”
This highly anticipated film promises to deliver an emotional, raw, and never-before-seen journey through the history of the Dallas Cowboys, America’s Team — focusing especially on the hidden stories, lost heroes, and unsung battles that shaped the franchise beyond the spotlight.
A Diamond Legacy Hidden in Plain Sight
While the Cowboys are often celebrated for their star-studded legacy — with names like Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, and Michael Irvin echoing through NFL history — this new documentary dares to ask: What about the overlooked icons? The plays that never made the highlight reel? The hearts broken behind the glory?
“This is not just a documentary. It’s a love letter to the soul of the Cowboys — the parts you never saw on Sunday Night Football,” says lead director Sarah Montrose, known for her work on “Last Chance Glory.”
The film traces the rise, fall, and rebirth of the Cowboys dynasty — focusing on the “diamond years” that fans rarely talk about. Expect unreleased locker room footage, exclusive interviews, and some truly jaw-dropping revelations.
Netflix Teases Shocking Moments and Forgotten Legends
In the newly released teaser, we hear Cowboys Hall of Famer Darren Woodson say:
“We were winning games, but some of us were losing everything off the field.”
One scene features an emotional reunion between former teammates who hadn’t spoken in over 20 years, while another dives into the controversial departure of a coaching icon that allegedly “fractured the team spirit for a generation.”
Fans can also expect candid commentary from Jerry Jones, Deion Sanders, Tony Romo, and even surprise appearances from opponents like Tom Brady, who shares a never-told anecdote about facing the Cowboys.
Slated for Release: June 23 — Mark Your Calendar
The 4-part series will drop worldwide on June 23, 2025, exclusively on Netflix. Each episode will explore a different chapter:
-
“The Dynasty Nobody Talks About”
-
“Scars Beneath the Stars”
