Titled “Weapon X: The Brian Dawkins Story,” the series will give fans unprecedented access to Dawkins' rise from New Jersey to becoming the face of the Eagles' defense. The project is being developed by top-tier sports storytellers at Netflix, with Dawkins himself playing an active role in the creative process.
“I’ve told bits and pieces of my story over the years,” Dawkins said in a statement. “But this time, we’re telling it all—the struggles, the glory, the pain, the laughs, and how Philadelphia changed my life forever. This is for the fans who’ve stuck with me all these years.”
The series is expected to cover Dawkins' legendary leadership on the field, his iconic chemistry with teammates like Donovan McNabb, Jason Peters, and Jeremiah Trotter, and the incredible highs of helping lead the Eagles to their first Super Bowl title. It will also explore the mental and emotional challenges Dawkins faced—something he has candidly discussed in recent years, making him a voice for mental health awareness in sports.
Netflix is reportedly planning to release the series in early 2026, perfectly timed to align with the NFL’s centennial celebrations. Each episode will run approximately 50 minutes, blending rare archival footage, exclusive interviews, and re-creations of pivotal moments in Dawkins’ career.
The announcement has thrilled fans across generations. On social media, Eagles Nation exploded with excitement, calling it a “must-watch” and “a love letter to one of the greatest safeties in NFL history.” Younger fans who’ve only seen Dawkins as a charismatic TV personality will now get the chance to understand the legendary safety’s impact on the game.
