In a move that has already sent shockwaves across the sports and entertainment worlds, Netflix has officially released “The Underdog,” a highly anticipated documentary chronicling the inspiring journey of Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry. The film, slated for global release on July 18, 2025, promises to offer fans an unprecedented look at the man behind the myth — a player many now consider the greatest shooter in NBA history.

Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ava DuVernay and produced in collaboration with Unanimous Media, Curry’s own production company, “The Underdog” dives deep into the formative years of Curry’s life. From his under-recruited high school days in Charlotte, North Carolina, to electrifying performances at Davidson College and his rise to NBA superstardom, the documentary aims to highlight the grit, faith, and relentless determination that shaped a two-time MVP and four-time NBA Champion.

Exclusive Interviews and Never-Before-Seen Footage

The documentary features exclusive interviews with Curry, his family, former coaches, teammates like Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, and high-profile figures including LeBron James, Barack Obama, and Steve Kerr. Viewers will get access to never-before-seen footage from Curry’s childhood, draft day drama, and behind-the-scenes moments from the Warriors’ historic 73-9 season.

A Story for Dreamers Everywhere

“This isn’t just a basketball story,” says DuVernay. “‘The Underdog’ is about challenging expectations, believing in your vision when others don’t, and rewriting the narrative of what greatness looks like.”

Early reviewers are already calling the film “emotionally riveting” and “a masterclass in storytelling,” with Variety noting it “could very well redefine how sports documentaries are done.”

Global Premiere and Streaming Details

“The Underdog” will premiere globally on Netflix on July 18, 2025, with a limited theatrical release in select cities including Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco for Oscar consideration.

For diehard fans and casual viewers alike, this documentary is poised to be a summer standout — a celebration of resilience, family, and the fearless spirit of a generational athlete who changed the game forever.
