A never-before-seen look at WWE behind the scenes will be coming to Netflix in the near future.
As announced by company President Nick Khan on Thursday, October 17th at the University of Southern California Next Level Sports conference in Inglewood, California, the currently untitled series will be coming to the platform as part of the partnership that was announced at the start of the year. The historic deal will see Raw broadcast exclusively on the platform around the world with international markets also getting SmackDown, NXT and Premium Live Events included as part of their subscription, replacing the WWE Network. Bloomberg first broke the news of the docuseries.
Behind-the-scenes sporting docuseries have become a staple on Netflix with the Formula 1 series Drive To Survive being a big hit on the platform and has also helped to grow the sport’s international presence and increase worldwide ratings and media rights deals. The platform has also showcased other sports such as Nascar, Six Nations rugby and college football with Last Chance U. Additionally, the series Wrestlers focused on wrestling promotion OVW premiered last year.
Raw will premiere on Netflix on January 6th, 2025.
