DALLAS — A long-rumored documentary about Dallas Cowboys Owner and General Manager Jerry Jones is officially coming to Netflix.
Netflix is partnering with Skydance Sports and NFL Films, in association with Stardust Frames Productions, to produce the 10-episode series, according to a Wednesday announcement. A statement says the series will feature "never-before-seen footage and interviews” with Jones, and the likes of legendary former QB Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith and Deion Sanders, head coaches Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer, as well as political and pop culture figures such as former President George W. Bush and Nike Founder Phil Knight.
Skydance Sports, NFL Films and the Jones family announced the development of the docuseries on May 3. It’s set to trace Jones’ “rise from the son of an Arkansas community store owner to being one of the most innovative and influential leaders in sports.”
Jones bought the Cowboys in 1989 as the team was coming off a 13-loss season and was losing in excess of $1 million a month. Since then, the Cowboys have won three Super Bowl titles and has long been at the top of Forbes’ list of the most valuable sports franchises.
The docuseries on Jones is Netflix's most recent project with the Dallas Cowboys, including the recently-announced series "America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders," which is set to premiere this summer, and their AT&T Stadium being the location of the Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson boxing event July 20 that will stream live on Netflix.
