Columbia, S.C. — The South Carolina Gamecocks women’s basketball team, fresh off their stunning and undefeated national championship season, is headed to Netflix. The streaming giant announced a brand-new sports documentary project spotlighting the Gamecocks’ remarkable 2024–25 journey, which has captivated fans across the nation. This production promises an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at how a powerhouse team built on grit, unity, and the visionary leadership of Coach Dawn Staley rose to dominate the sport.
The documentary, set to premiere in early 2026, will chronicle the highs and challenges of the season, offering exclusive access to team practices, locker room moments, and personal interviews with players, coaches, and staff. Viewers will gain a front-row seat to the emotional rollercoaster of the Gamecocks’ championship run, which defied expectations after losing several key veterans to graduation and the WNBA.
“This is more than a basketball story,” said Netflix’s executive producer in a statement. “It’s about perseverance, leadership, and a sisterhood that goes beyond the court.”
At the heart of the story is Coach Dawn Staley, whose legendary career as both a player and coach has made her a trailblazer in women’s sports. The documentary will trace Staley’s impact on the program, from turning South Carolina into a perennial contender to fostering a culture of accountability and love that resonates with her players. Staley, a three-time national champion and Olympic gold medalist, continues to redefine what it means to lead in collegiate athletics.
The film will also spotlight the diverse and dynamic personalities of the players, showcasing how their bond fueled their success. From game-winning performances to late-night team talks and community outreach, the documentary will reveal how the team became a family — and how that closeness translated into results on the court.
Fans and critics alike have praised the Gamecocks not only for their athletic dominance but also for their commitment to social justice, academic excellence, and character. The documentary will honor these off-the-court contributions, making it a must-watch for basketball lovers and newcomers alike.
With its unique blend of competitive drama, emotional storytelling, and cultural significance, the South Carolina women’s basketball documentary is expected to follow in the footsteps of acclaimed sports series like The Last Dance and Full Court Press. As anticipation builds, Gamecock Nation and the broader basketball world eagerly await a chance to relive a season that was nothing short of historic.
The Gamecocks are not just champions — they’re an inspiration. And soon, their story will reach millions around the world.
