Netflix Announces Groundbreaking PBR Documentary Series: “The Ride” to Premiere This Fall
Los Gatos, CA – In a major win for rodeo fans and sports documentary enthusiasts, Netflix has officially announced the upcoming release of a documentary series centered around the adrenaline-fueled world of Professional Bull Riders (PBR). Titled “The Ride,” the multi-part series is set to premiere globally on the streaming platform this fall.
The Ride promises an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the lives of PBR’s top athletes, showcasing their grit, determination, and personal sacrifices as they chase glory on one of the world’s most dangerous sports circuits. From intense competition to the deep bonds between riders and bulls, the series aims to capture the heart-pounding action and emotional depth of professional bull riding.
Netflix describes the series as a “raw and riveting journey into the arena and beyond,” offering viewers a front-row seat to both the thrilling highs and crushing lows faced by riders on the PBR Unleash The Beast tour.
Executive producers of the project include several seasoned names from acclaimed sports documentaries, ensuring the production quality and storytelling match the level of action unfolding in the chutes.
“This is more than just a sport—it’s a way of life,” said one of the producers. “We wanted to show the untold stories, the sacrifices, and the intense dedication it takes to be at the top of this incredibly dangerous sport.”
The series will feature several well-known PBR athletes, rising stars, and iconic bulls, making it a must-watch for both die-hard fans and newcomers to the sport.
With the global popularity of documentaries like Formula 1: Drive to Survive and Quarterback, Netflix is betting big on The Ride to do for bull riding what those series did for motorsports and football—introduce it to a whole new audience.
The Ride is set to debut in Fall 2025.
