Netflix Announces New Documentary Series on Luka Dončić, Now Leading the Lakers.
Netflix has revealed plans for an original documentary series chronicling the life and career of NBA superstar Luka Dončić, now the dynamic centerpiece of the Los Angeles Lakers.
The series promises an intimate look at Dončić’s journey from a Slovenian prodigy to one of the league’s most electrifying players—and now the face of one of basketball’s most storied franchises.
The multi-episode series will dive deep into Dončić’s upbringing, his rise through Real Madrid’s youth system, and his rapid ascent in the NBA after being drafted in 2018. Viewers will get behind-the-scenes access to his transition to the Lakers, where his arrival has reignited championship hopes in Los Angeles. From locker room moments to candid interviews with teammates, coaches, and Dončić himself, the documentary will provide a raw and unfiltered perspective on what it takes to carry the weight of a franchise under the spotlight of Hollywood.
This announcement follows Netflix’s growing commitment to sports storytelling, adding to its successful lineup that includes documentaries on Michael Jordan, Neymar, and Formula 1. Executive producers say the Dončić series aims to explore not just his talents and accolades, but also the mental and emotional toll of superstardom at a young age.
“Luka represents the modern global athlete—talented, charismatic, and relentless,” said the series’ director in a statement. “We’re excited to share the moments the world hasn’t seen.”
The untitled series is currently in production and is expected to debut on Netflix in early 2026. As Dončić begins a new chapter in purple and gold, fans across the globe will soon get an unprecedented look at the life of a player redefining greatness in
the NBA.
