In an exciting development for both baseball fans and streaming audiences, the Seattle Mariners are teaming up with Netflix for a groundbreaking new docu-series that promises to explore the rich history, unique culture, and compelling present-day journey of the franchise. The untitled series is set to debut in early 2026 and will span multiple episodes, offering viewers an unprecedented inside look at the team both on and off the field.
Netflix confirmed the collaboration Tuesday morning, calling it a “multi-part deep dive into one of baseball’s most fascinating franchises.” The series will chronicle the Mariners’ rollercoaster existence—from their humble beginnings in 1977, through the dramatic highs and heartbreaks of the Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki eras, to the emergence of current superstar Julio Rodríguez and the team’s push to return to postseason prominence.
“This is a story of grit, passion, loyalty, and redemption,” said Netflix Sports Executive Producer Carla Reyes. “The Seattle Mariners have one of the most devoted fan bases and one of the most emotionally charged histories in Major League Baseball. We’re excited to bring that story to life in a powerful, cinematic way.”
The series will blend archival footage, exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes access, and game-day moments from the 2025 season. Featured interviews will include current and former players, coaches, front office personnel, and celebrity fans. It will also spotlight the unique bond between the team and the city of Seattle—a relationship that has endured decades of playoff droughts, unforgettable individual performances, and a renewed sense of hope in recent years.
Mariners Chairman John Stanton praised the project as a chance to share the soul of the franchise with the world.
“This is more than just baseball. It’s about the heart of a city and the spirit of a team that never stops believing,” Stanton said. “Our story is one of perseverance and passion, and we’re thrilled Netflix sees the same power in it that we do.”
Fans will also get an inside look at the Mariners’ clubhouse culture, front office strategies, and community outreach efforts—making the series a rare opportunity to pull back the curtain on one of MLB’s most intriguing organizations.
Sources close to the production indicate that the series will dedicate full episodes to iconic figures such as Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martínez, Ichiro Suzuki, and Felix Hernández, as well as deep dives into pivotal seasons, including the record-breaking 116-win 2001 campaign and the long-awaited playoff berth in 2022.
Current stars like Julio Rodríguez, Logan Gilbert, and new head coach Raúl Ibañez will play central roles in capturing the modern-day heartbeat of the team. Cameras will follow players through spring training, the regular season, and potentially into a postseason run—something fans are eagerly hoping for.
Reactions from the Mariners’ fanbase have been overwhelmingly positive, with social media lighting up shortly after the announcement.
“This is going to be must-watch for any true baseball fan,” tweeted one lifelong Mariners supporter. “Finally, the world gets to see what makes this team and city so special.”
The Mariners are the latest professional sports team to partner with Netflix, following the success of docu-series like Drive to Survive (Formula 1), Full Swing (PGA Tour), and Quarterback (NFL). These series have demonstrated the power of storytelling in elevating athletes and expanding fan bases.
With filming already underway, the Mariners and Netflix are promising a deeply emotional, visually stunning, and thoroughly honest portrait of a franchise whose story has long deserved the spotlight.
“This is for every fan who stuck with us through the lean years,” Rodríguez said in a teaser video. “For every kid who wore the jersey. This is our story—and it’s just getting started.”
