Netflix Greenlights Heartwarming Documentary Celebrating Giants Legends Kruk & Kuip
SAN FRANCISCO — July 1, 2025
Baseball fans rejoice: Netflix has officially greenlit a new documentary celebrating the legendary San Francisco Giants broadcasting duo Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper — affectionately known as “Kruk and Kuip.”
The film, tentatively titled “Kruk & Kuip: Giants of the Booth,” will chronicle their decades-long friendship, hilarious on-air chemistry, and the deep emotional bond they’ve built with Giants fans across generations.
Produced by Imagine Entertainment and directed by Emmy-winner Lauren Greenfield, the documentary promises exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, candid interviews with players, fellow broadcasters, and family, and never-before-seen moments from their storied broadcasting careers.
> “This isn’t just about baseball,” said Greenfield. “It’s about loyalty, love, laughter, and what it means to grow older in the public eye — together.”
The film will also touch on Krukow’s courageous battle with inclusion-body myositis and Kuiper’s return to the booth after a personal loss, revealing the resilience and humor that have defined their partnership.
Duane Kuiper shared his excitement:
> “Mike and I never thought we’d become part of baseball history. We just thought we were two goofballs who loved the game and each other. To have our story told like this — it’s humbling.”
Netflix says the documentary will debut in Spring 2026, coinciding with the Giants’ 70th anniversary in San Francisco. Early teaser clips have already sparked buzz across Giants Nation, with fans praising the duo’s enduring legacy.
For Kruk and Kuip, who have been the voice of summer for millions, this film is more than a tribute — it’s a love letter to the game, the city, and the fans who’ve been with them every pitch of the way.
