- The May 12 opener follows Jamie Vardy’s climb from non-league to Premier League champion with unseen archive and interviews that include Rebekah Vardy and former Leicester figures.
- Liverpool’s 2005 Champions League comeback lands May 19 under director Matthew Rudge with new interviews from Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen, Rafa Benítez, Xabi Alonso and Didi Hamann in what Netflix bills as a definitive account.
- Vinnie Jones closes the slate on May 26 with a first-person retelling of his ‘Crazy Gang’ years and the 1992 controversy that nearly ended his career, featuring voices such as John Fashanu, Dave Bassett, Bobby Gould, Sam Hammam and Piers Morgan.
- The UK move localizes Netflix’s established Untold franchise and leans on unseen footage and first-hand testimony to refresh well-known stories for a World Cup season audience.
