Jamie Vardy has officially penned a contract with Netflix that will bring a docuseries about the Leicester City legend’s incredible journey to the streaming platform in Autumn 2025 or by next year. This project marks his emotional return to the homes of Leicester City supporters for what could be the final time, through this exciting new collaboration and upcoming release.
The series will chronicle Vardy’s extraordinary rise from non-league football to becoming a Premier League champion, showcasing the making of a modern-day football icon. With subtle glimpses into his personal life woven throughout, it promises to be an unmissable, in-depth exploration of one of football’s most distinctive personalities.
Netflix’s recent football documentaries have spotlighted some of the sport’s biggest and most celebrated figures.
David Beckham’s series was an enormous hit, and with a Vinícius Júnior documentary set to premiere soon, Vardy’s tale stands apart from the usual glitz and glamour of Netflix’s typical football features. Yet, Vardy remains a legend in his own right, boasting a trophy collection that rivals some of the most accomplished players of the modern era.
The agreement and forthcoming documentary might also pave the way for another project — a reality show centred on Rebekah Vardy and their family life. ‘At Home With The Vardys’ is said to depend on the success of the initial documentary, but fans are hopeful production will get underway soon.
With Vardy joining Netflix’s glittering roster of football personalities — and a growing list of stars and managers immortalised on screen — one can’t help but wonder who might be next in line for the Hollywood spotlight.
