Kansas City, Missouri – January 16, 2026
Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes has officially signed a $10 million deal with Netflix for a seven-episode limited series that will chronicle his extraordinary journey from multi-sport prodigy to one of the most influential athletes of his generation.
Titled Mahomes: Changing the Game (working title), the series is set to premiere in 2027 and promises an intimate, behind-the-curtain look at the man who redefined the quarterback position and reshaped modern NFL leadership.
The project traces Mahomes’ full arc:
- His early days as a rare dual-threat talent in Texas high school football and baseball
- College stardom at Texas Tech where his improvisational style began turning heads
- The dramatic rise with the Chiefs — from sitting behind Alex Smith to leading the team to three Super Bowl titles and multiple MVP honors
- The mindset, discipline, adaptability, and relentless preparation that turned generational arm talent into sustained greatness
More than a highlight reel, the series will dive deep into the personal side: how Mahomes balances innovation with structure, humility with superstardom, and crushing pressure with genuine joy. Viewers will see the strategist behind the no-look passes, the competitor behind the celebrations, and the family man behind the spotlight.
Netflix promises a wealth of exclusive content:
- Never-before-seen archival footage from high school, college, and early Chiefs days
- In-depth interviews with Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, Patrick’s family, former rivals, and current teammates
- Candid, first-person reflections from Mahomes himself about failures, comebacks, leadership philosophy, and the values that drive him
Early reactions from industry insiders and test-screening viewers are already calling it “the defining chronicle of the quarterback who changed the game forever.”
“Patrick’s story isn’t just about football — it’s about vision, resilience, and rewriting what’s possible,” a Netflix spokesperson said. “This series will show the world the mindset that turned raw talent into a lasting legacy.”
Mahomes, who has long used his platform for community impact through his 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, appears ready to open up in ways fans have rarely seen. The project marks his most ambitious media venture to date and solidifies his status as a cultural figure whose influence extends far beyond the gridiron.
With the Chiefs in the thick of another playoff push, this announcement adds even more fuel to Mahomes’ already legendary narrative: on the field he’s redefining excellence — off the field he’s now telling the story.
2027 can’t come soon enough. The quarterback who changed the game is about to show us exactly how he did it.
