Aaron Judge is about to step into a new spotlight, but this time, it’s not on the diamond. The New York Yankees slugger has inked a groundbreaking $20 million deal with Netflix to produce a 6-episode series chronicling his rise from a small-town California kid to one of Major League Baseball's biggest superstars. The series will not only highlight Judge’s journey to greatness but also give fans an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the sacrifices, struggles, and triumphs that shaped him into the player he is today.
The series, set to premiere in 2025, promises to go far beyond the standard sports documentary.

But beyond the highlights and the records, this series will explore Judge’s internal battle—his resilience in the face of injury, the moments of uncertainty, and the sacrifices he made to reach the top.

The series will also give fans a glimpse of Judge’s personal life, his interactions with family, teammates, and coaches, and his unwavering commitment to the game.
The show will be more than just an exploration of Aaron Judge’s career; it will be a testament to the power of persistence and self-belief. It will be a story of a player who, from a young age, was told he wasn’t big enough, fast enough, or good enough. Yet, despite the doubts, he went on to rewrite the record books, silencing critics and becoming a true baseball icon in the process. The series will undoubtedly resonate with fans not only of baseball but also those who appreciate a good underdog story.
Fans can expect a series filled with heart, grit, and glory—offering a front-row seat to the evolution of a player who changed the game. From his early struggles at Fresno State to his explosive debut with the Yankees and eventual MVP-caliber seasons, every chapter of Judge’s story will unfold on screen in ways that will make viewers feel like they’ve never seen Aaron Judge quite like this before.
With this massive deal, Judge joins a growing list of athletes turning their sports careers into cinematic storytelling, following in the footsteps of figures like LeBron James and Tom Brady.

Taylor Swift Set to Attend Chiefs’ Season Opener in Brazil Amid Kelce’s Controversial Comments
The Kansas City Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears for their preseason finale on Friday, August 22. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid revealed his starters will start, including tight end Travis Kelce.
The Chiefs-Bears matchup marks Kansas City’s only preseason game at Arrowhead Stadium, and fans will keep an eye out for Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, as the pop star only attended home games last season. Swift did not attend the first two preseason games; however, Kelce didn’t play in either of those exhibition matchups.
With the “Eras Tour” behind her, Swift is expected to be at “as many of his games as possible,” a source told People in June.
“Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she’s not juggling a packed tour schedule.
“This fall will be completely different. It’s the first season where she’s not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.”
The 35-year-old singer remains incredibly busy. During the 14-time Grammy winner’s appearance on Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast last week, Swift announced her next album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” will be released on October 3.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Issued a Formal Apology After Describing Playing In Brazil As ‘Miserable’
While an AFC West international showdown may sound exciting for many players, Kelce appeared less than thrilled discussing the game during the May 14 episode of “New Heights.”
“There’s just something about getting close to the equator, I don’t want to put on a football uniform. I’ve been in Jacksonville in September, that’s [expletive] miserable,” he explained to his brother, Jason Kelce. “I’d rather it be dry than humid, I’m a sweaty guy. If it is humid, I am going to be miserable. But we’re going to find a way to get a win.”
Predicting he’ll sweat through his uniform, “I am going to have to ask the equipment guys for a couple of jerseys, maybe three pairs of pants. Maybe four cleats, I might just go through a pair.”
A week later, Kelce apologized if his comments about playing in Brazil were misconstrued. “I’m a furry son of the [expletive]. Me and heat just don’t do well together,” Kelce clarified. “So I apologize if it came off that I’m not excited about this. I’m still excited. I’m just going to be doing some wardrobe changes throughout the game.
“Shout-out to everybody down in Brazil. Can’t wait to get down there. Sorry if it came off as I’m not excited, because I am. We got a huge challenge with the Los Angeles Chargers, baby.”
