The Netflix docuseries on former WWE boss Vince McMahon, titled “Mr. McMahon,” is set to premiere on September 25. The series consists of six one-hour episodes.
Initially announced in October 2020, the docuseries has gained additional significance following McMahon’s retirement from WWE amid an investigation into misconduct allegations. He later returned in early 2023 to facilitate the sale of WWE, which was eventually merged with UFC under the TKO Group. McMahon resigned from the TKO board after facing a lawsuit from a former employee alleging sexual abuse and trafficking.
Series director and executive producer Chris Smith stated, “The goal behind ‘Mr. McMahon’ was to pull back the curtain and reveal the true Vince McMahon, obscured beneath the persona he presented to the world.” He added that the story evolved in shocking ways, culminating in harrowing allegations, resulting in a documentary that offers a nuanced portrait of McMahon and his complex legacy.
Bill Simmons and Zara Duffy also serve as executive producers on the series, which is produced by Library Films in association with Ringer Films.
You can read the synopsis below:
“‘Mr. McMahon’ chronicles the rise and fall of Vince McMahon, controversial businessman and co-founder of WWE.
From his transformation of the WWE from a small, regional business into a global entertainment powerhouse to the explosive sexual misconduct allegations that led to his eventual resignation, this six-episode series offers a deep dive into McMahon’s life and his enduring franchise.
Culled from over 200 hours of interviews with McMahon himself (prior to his resignation), his family members, business associates and some of the most iconic names in wrestling history, as well as the journalists who uncovered McMahon’s allegations — filmmaker Chris Smith (‘Tiger King’) and executive producer Bill Simmons (’30 for 30′) present an unflinching, no-holds-barred look at one of the most enigmatic figures in sports entertainment.”
