TYSON (2026) — Mike Tyson’s Netflix Docuseries
The Baddest Man on the Planet is telling his own story. TYSON is Netflix’s four-part documentary series on Mike Tyson — from a chaotic childhood in Brooklyn to becoming the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history at just 20, through the fame, controversies, prison years and personal collapse that nearly destroyed him, to the hard-won redemption of the man he is today.
Directed by Floyd Russ (American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson) and executive-produced by Bill Simmons, the series mixes candid new interviews with Tyson and the people closest to him with decades of archival footage — an unfiltered look at greatness, fall and comeback. All four hour-long episodes drop on Netflix together on October 13, 2026. Netflix is doubling down on Tyson season: his one-man comedy show Mike Tyson: Return of the Mike follows on November 3.
