The trailer features quick glimpses of Cowboys legends like Troy Aikman, Deion Sanders, Michael Irvin, and Emmitt Smith.

The Cowboys in Netflix
Set to premiere on August 19, the docuseries centers on Jerry Jones and the Cowboys’ Super Bowl run in the 1990s. First announced in May 2024, the series will span eight episodes, each running 45 minutes, marking Netflix’s latest deep dive into the Cowboys’ storied legacy.
The documentary will also feature appearances from prominent political and pop culture figures, including former President George W. Bush, Nike founder Phil Knight, and media executive Rupert Murdoch.
The new docuseries extends the Cowboys’ growing partnership with Netflix. The platform also launched America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, a behind-the-scenes look at the triumphs and challenges of life as a member of the iconic cheer squad.
Skydance Sports is producing the series in collaboration with NFL Films and Stardust Frames Productions.
Netflix continues to grow its footprint in live sports, including last year’s high-profile boxing event between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, which streamed from the Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium. The platform also began airing NFL games by hosting Christmas Day matchups during the previous season. That partnership moves forward this year, with Netflix set to stream Cowboys vs. Commanders and Lions vs. Vikings on Christmas Day as part of its exclusive three-year agreement to carry holiday games through 2026.
