Overview
- Netflix confirmed Tuesday that Poldi, its feature documentary on Lukas Podolski, will premiere June 4, 2026.
- The film is billed as more than a highlight reel, promising a behind-the-scenes look at the person, his family circle, and his path from street football to the world stage.
- Produced by btf and Signature Studios, the project arrived with first images that include scenes linked to his years in Japan.
- Netflix teases it set out to follow his “last season,” though plans changed, and Podolski still plays for Poland’s Górnik Zabrze under a contract through 2026.
- The date lands just days before the FIFA World Cup and coincides with Podolski’s 41st birthday, a pairing likely designed to heighten interest.
